Someone care to host pics; I'll show you a nice system.
My filter is mounted where that pump is on the drivers side though, then routes back to pump. I've yet to have a problem, but I also don't drive all over the country. I have taken several extend travels to car shows, and the track. Maybe 60 miles round trip in one day, in the heat of summer.
I'm using a Speed inc. sumped tank and Aeroquip lines/fittings. The huge Spintech muffler still resides in the rear, right below the tank lines. I must be lucky, or maybe my work is truely top notch!
I would suggest wrapping the lines, w/ this

JM: Ya, we used a lot of straps originally , we want to clean up the system for the customer but he is away until next Tuesday I want to see what he wants to do before I touch anything. I was told to zip tie everything, so we'll see what he wants to do from there.
stroked: We used that heat wrap already up near the headers/inlet piping for the intercooler. Wouldnt be a bad idea to use it near the rear, but as I said I need to see what the customer wants us to do. Oh and if you wanted to send pics to matt@ttperformance.net I'd have no problem hosting them for ya...
Here is a bunch of pics of the original work:

I'm a tad confused on your fueling setup however. If there is a dead head line to the driver side rail, then the regulator is after the line on the passenger side, how does the drivers side get regulated? it seems like there would be a push of fuel to that side....
looking to learn not much fuel system knowledge.
I will say this however, v6bird has done some amazing stuff with his setup, and had some great times out of it. Don't discount his knowledge just because you have people for you that "worked" on cars that went 6 seconds. Not trying to flame, but hell I've "worked" on cars that went 8s.....

Someone want to host it for me?
Tehm dry shots are weak, no way it can run a 9 with that...
I was hoping youd have something to say about how clean that battery install was...But of course not, since you cant compare gold to bronze...LMAO

V6: The battery installation is pretty clean. Not something I would do, but it was a nice job. You didnt have many positive things to say about our installation so I didnt feel compeled to say much about yours... Now let's stop the bickering, put the **** on the road, and race!
I'm not here to fight with anyone, but don't think I wont defend my work. We know exactly what we are doing, but we have to work with our customers even though we may not agree with everything they want done or the way they want it. Fact is, they pay the bills !
Oh and if you do need a host, just send the file over -- matt@ttperformance.net -- I'd be happy to host the vid for ya.

Fact of the matter is customers do pay the bills....If my name is on it, simply put, it wouldnt be done the way you did it. Because if you really think about it, down the road someone's going to see that setup at a local event and ask who did it. If they dont think its clean like I stated i felt it wasnt then they will go elsewhere. Ill turn customers away left and right if they want me to hack up some work. I simply wont touch it. Ill starve to death before I do that kind of work. Ill take you some pics of a y-pipe i just put together last night. If I had a TIG it would be even sweeter but I gotta make due with what I can afford being a FT college student Holding a FT job and doing sidework on the side. Look for the pics this evening. Im out.
On another note, talk the customer into something that will both shine for you guys and for their car and them not be ashamed of how it looks if they are fronted about it. Im not ashamed of my work. I live and learn on it everyday.
Mike
Take care folks!

Mike: I hear ya. There are a few things on this particular car that I would not have done the way we did. But the customer is always right. The car makes the power, we just need a bottom end to really harness the output of this turbo.

Right now you're only regulating one fuel rails pressure from what I can see.
I guess GM Powertrain engineers are all tools up until 98 when they moved the regulator to the pump. I guess all LT1's, L98's and other EFI engines with the regulator on the return side are destined to grenade, huh? i guess all those engines with with a 100k or 200k miles are just figments of everyones imagination, huh. BTW, systems with the regulator on the return side suffer less from fuel pressure drops due to throttle changes.

its probably there for fitment reasons for example, due to packaging reasons, some people find the middle of the rail a better place to introduce/release fuel from the rail vice using one of the ends. 1992/1993 LT1's used the middle of the drivers side rail, some LSx engines come in at the middle, as well as some L98 engines. what ever is easiest for the packaging engineers, i guess.
