Default Fuel system routing? Which way? Pictures

What is the preferred way to run a fuel setup on a high horsepower (1000 hp) turbo car. I am pretty sure I know but I have seen some pictures of guys builds that look like they did it different and I want to know what the general consensus is.


First Method: I think this is not the preferred way but what kind of power is this setup good to?



Second Method: I believe this is the preferred method but what kind of power do you have to be making for this to be necessary?


If you set it up like in method 2 do you have to have a regulator that is termed a "bypass regulator"?

huh?

I'm confused.

I have mine ran from the pump into a Y fitting, into the back of both rails, then out of the front of both rails into the regulator. Then ran a return from the regulator all the way back to the top of the tank.

Not sure if you meant to post pictures with your post or not, but...

I have the pumps feeding a single -8 to the back of the driver rail, -8 crossover from the front of the driver side rail to the front of the pass rail, -8 line to the regulator, and -6 back to the tank

Any reason you put the filter after the pump? Most people like to filter their fuel before it gets to a higher dollar part.

i guess my main concern was not getting any **** in my injectors. $340 injectors > $180 pump. two filters would have been the best way to go though
