I am running the walbro 255 overvolted and system is returnless. Yours will be a better setup for sure. I have a friend who did the corvette regulator mounted near the tank so up front it still looked stock. I did my S10 that way as well. I was thinking along those lines long term.

Hammer the same car in a 1/4 mile would run roughly : 1/4 Mile ET is 9.69 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 6.1153 seconds.
That says a lot! For a Basic stock bottom end and Factory heads VS anything bigger or with better aftermarket heads. If the Avg weight is about the same as any other 5th gen Camaro of 3000 lbs or greater the combination is working Great.
@ragtopz28 : Did you look into Improved Racing crank scraper??? Also Schumann makes a weld on 2 bolt pickup tube flange * with gaskets that Eliminates the O-ring and the smaller tube that goes into the oil pump. $17.50
Small things with the short block helps everything else.

A little update to post #46...After talking with FED on what they are doing to the heads, I'll be going 4.060 bore (404 CI) so no valve shrouding.
I told y'all it was a slow build. Still having fun with the 'ol SBE 6.0 running 9.80's. Can't wait to run 9's N/A with the 404".

Checking in...only update is heads have been sent off to FED. . Manley valves and PAC 1238 springs (.750 lift) getting installed. I also decided not to bore to 4.060 and am going 4.030 (back to 398"). 14:1 pistons and C16
Cam should be in the 25x/26x range .750 lift.
'Ol SBE is hanging in there!

One more time, here is what I do know for sure:
I already have - FAST 102 w/mid runners, NW 102, NO102 plate, K1 3.90 crank, Compstar 6.125 rods, LQ4 block currently @ 4.005, good flowing exhaust, S60, Built 4L60 (fingers crossed, haha).
To do:
-Upgrade fuel system (in progress)
-Send 821's to FED for their stage 1.5 w/Manley valves
-Order some forged 4.030 high compression pistons (13-14:1) any suggestions?
-Have block bored to piston specs, balance rotating assembly, cam bearings, etc. I'll debur before delivering to machine shop.
-Order up max effort LLSR cam, lifters, rockers, springs, pushrods (this is where the $$ is)
-Assemble
^^OK, I'm changing my mind again (to save a little $$ by not boring block, no custom pistons, no solid roller cam and lifters).
Staying 4.005" bore and going with hydraulic lifters and cam. I'll be ordering some shelf 4.005" pistons (JE FSR +9cc) so it will be ~12.5:1 compression and running E85.
Thinking of using the Morel 5206's and FIC 850cc injectors.
What say my mentors now??

I am excited to see the results. My only question is why you are staying with a fast style manifold? It seems like it is a a fairly max effort set up. A single plane will allow you to spray more with a 4150 style plate, letting you take advantage of those forged internals.
