Your gonna do what you want... but in my opinion a
return is a much better set up.. but what do I know..
I didnt stay in a Holiday Inn.. but I did work in the
fuel lab for 30+ years... when we started with perf
or injected we ran a return line... some time later
we dropped it... for 1 reason.. repeat.. 1 reason ONLY
and that was cost... but the company will do anything
to cut cost... but I also understand a budget... but
also sometimes you need to save a bit more before
you jump........... JMO

I'm going to rerun the return

In a returnless system I understand that fuel is warmer when it gets to the carb as opposed to a return system. My question is how much of a difference does it really make? I am preparing to make my fuel system NHRA approved and I can save alot of money putting my reg. in the trunk with the pump and tank and just running my low pressure side to the front of the car. Will there really be that much of a difference on a street/strip car?

---

This is at least the 2nd time in two post that you used the terms "cheap" and sometimes it works but generally it doesn`t........just check out past posts about dampners, heads pumps etc. Don`t cheap out on the fuel system or it will bite you in the azz............

---

I understand what your saying, but I don't have much if any of a budget sometimes and I've literally built this car myself with the cheapest speed parts I can find and none have let me down yet. In over 2 years I've put close to 20k miles on this setup that was built entirely from chinese ebay parts and the only part to let me down has been the head gaskets, one of which was the original from 1976.

I like the idea of running one less line to the front for two reasons, one CHEAP and two, anywhere I can simplify or make a system more modular I will do it. If I only have one line to the front of the car it will make it so my pump, reg., and tank are all in one place. Easier to start looking for problems if one arose, and makes for a simple install.

---

I get it............I`m not money bags like some either cos if I was I`d be driving an 8-second car and have the best of everything however, I buy good stuff when I can and wait if I can`t. Some people actually brag about e-bag stuff, chinese this and that and if that`s your gig go for it.

Thumper, when he's running 10s with $1000 in china-bay and junkyard parts while cruising down the street at 2500 rpm or less, you may rethink all the "good stuff" in your big block

When I get the 360 in and can afford a good converter it should be running high 10's My last track pass was a 7.82 at 96 in the 1/8th. My 60' is terrible but my N20 kit should fix that when I get it wired finally. Keep in mind this is with a BONE STOCK 76 318. It gets right at 16mpg on the way to cruise-ins and will run on 87 octane if I turn the boost down and the timing back Ebay parts are the only way I could afford to make any power. I've got less in my whole turbo setup, fuel system and electronics than it would have cost me to build a 450hp 360. The only thing I spent good money on was the rearend it has Dr. Diff axles

I used the Morroso bleed off regulator. The reg. was set at 8# and excess fuel bled back to tank with no restriction to the carbs since they fed directly from pump. At idle alot of bleed off, full throttle none. Worked great I'll use it again on my next car.

---

Have a part number for this? Or is it the Moroso fuel pressure log?

I forgot to mention that all the Magnafuel fuel pumps have a builtin bypass from the front of the pump, high pressure side, that you run back into the tank so it is a bypass system with no return line from the front I mount my regulators in front of the motor so the high pressures is all the way to the front of the motor and the lower regulated pressure is to the carb. I haven't ran a dead headed system since switching from the smaller dead head pumps like the little blue 110GPH Holleys and the Mallory 140 GPH pumps One thing you really need to make sure of on a drag car is that you really have more fuel delivery than you need If you can not jet your car up enough to slow it down in the 1/4 mile MPH you don't have enough fuel volume

---

Agreed...........I love the Magnafuel 300 pump and it too bypasses directly into the cell which saves lots of extra fuel line and fittings and looks cleaner to boot.............

I meant is there some kind of tube going in the cell or just dumping it back in from the top. my arrow just dumps it back in.

I'll take my chances with better quality parts...
I tend to buy American made stuff if at all possible
but thats me... I dont care if I have to save a bit
longer to get them.. or maybe I have to do a extra
side job to cover it

Moparts is the epitome of "budget" parts. Not everyone but quite a few. I buy nothing but the best. My life is worth that to me.
