boost ref. regulator and line install? Is this correct getting the aeromotive regulator 1:1 and need to know where to install it exactly and if everything else looks good?
both rails will be looped in the rear.
feed line has filter and goes straight to driver side front rail.
return line goes to regulator and pass. side front rail
anything else? can this work? will it work effectively

That's the setup I used except I went in & out the back of the rails. I thought it looked cleaner with just the crossover in the front. Works fine for me. Some will say to run them in parallel for big power... "Y" the line & feed each rail separate then Y back to the return. I think it doesn't starve the second rail that way

SO which way works better?
I would love to loop the front and feed the rears but the regulator needs to be away from the firewall per NHRA but I dont remember how far away?

I don't know. Either way works, not sure which is better. I mounted my regulator on the driver strut tower. Used a -8 feed and the factory feed as the return.

I drilled the top of the sending unit and used a -8 90* bulkhead fitting then ran Earls Pro Lite 350 -8 hose to the front. I think I had around $200 in hose & $500 in fittings when I did it. I made my own twin in tank setup too.
This is straight from NHRAdotcom General Regulations 1.5
So probably 6" forward of firewall to be safe.

I used Nasty rails, Mototron 60# injectors, -8 feed, -8 crossover, -8 from rails to regulator, -6 regulator to return line (factory feed), blocked off the "T" in the factory feed, and used new fuel filter so I didn't return the dirt back to the tank.
I found the part number for the blue fitting somewhere on this site. I don't remember where
