-8 all the way dude.
Doesn't cost or weigh much more than -6 really, and no harm in having more fuel flow capacity than you need.

I have never had a need to use a return line on my drag cars and have always had the regulator near the carbs . My fuel pressure always stayed pretty
steady wherever I set it from 2.5 - 7psi depending on which carbs I ran. I do consider the fuel pump a wear item that I replace every couple years and
I rebuild the regulator every year so that I can replace the diaphram and check the spring . If I was driving on the street for prolonged periods of
time I might think about a return system but only after I had a problem. I am NOT saying what you guys are doing is not needed for your cars , just
that I have been lucky not to need it all these years. Mike McCarthy
p.s. I use Holley pumps and regulators

I had nothing but problems with all the Holley products... But like you said, street cars are different animals.... Most of the fuel control problems
I had were with the DCOE (which turned out to be heavliy modified for meth by the PO!), and the need to run a boost refernced FPR with that carb....
Hence the full flow setup.... Most all Holley FPR's are designed to be used a 'dead head'.... But the pumps never lasted very long either.... I now
use the Carter pump which is an internally submerged pump that uses the flow of fuel to keep it cool, along with the Aeromotive FPR.... I now have
rock solid pressure to the 500dbl Holley, with plenty of flow through my 1/2" ID lines.

I've been seeing that pic issue a bit on here of late.... I suspect it's not the computer that the problem, but the forum.... Maybe time for an
update admin guys!
Anyway.... Good to see some progress on the car Mick.... Your not gonna know yourself when the boost comes on!

Is it still upside down? Yeah still planning on using 2x 235 cfm inline bilge blower fans mounted on top of the wing under a scoop ducting cool air.
Maybe you can check them out when you come pick up this damn fuel tank! I tripped over it twice yesterday!

Nice, if have been looking at the Digital for my other motor, are you going to have a crack at tuning it yourself?

Well, it's got pre set maps in it which you can modify. So well get it running and a close tune then take it to the dyno to tune under load on boost.

Yeah, we did... Turns out you can't use the Teflon buttons on the wiseco slipper skirt pistons, only Mahle. The pistons come with these spiro lock
things which are supposedly the next best thing.
