Default Dedicated Fuel system question

I'm switching my car to a direct port nitrous system on my car and will be using a trunk mounted dedicated fuel system with c16. The question is can I run the fuel pressure regulator in the trunk so I can run a single line to the front or do I need to run 2 lines to the front and mount the regulator under the hood?

It's better to have the regulator under the hood for tuning purposes, its fine to have then tank in the back, however you want to have the regulator up front whenever possible, because you can sometimes have a pressure drop on the initial hit with having the regulator in the back of the car..

If you have not already purchased the fuel system save yourself some hassle and get our universal 2 gallon.

You do not want the regulator in the back of the car. It needs to be at the front of the car with a return back to the tank. Otherwise you will have air trapped in the feed and when the solenoids open the fuel will have a delay in delivery creating a lean condition at the hit.
