Default Where did you mount your corvette fuel pressure regulator?

I have one of these LS1 corvette fuel pressure regulators with the built in return line and I was curious where you guys are mounting yours?

Up front or in the rear near the tank? Where were these at from the factory on Corvettes?

Thanks in advance

I had mine in the engine bay at first, then moved it close to the gas tank to keep things simple. Less line = cleaner look.

Stock engine or mild HP increases=ok to place regulator toward rear of car.
High HP=regulator should be closer to engine to maintain proper pressure.

Put some clamps on that feed line ASAP. Those spring style pieces arent rated for anything!
