after talking to Aeromotive their recommendation regarding return line/by pass regulators is unless you are making about 900+ HP , have multiple carbs or running a Nitrous system it is not necessary---one thing that does happen tho is by using a return line you are A) heating the fuel B) aerating the fuel--- because of A&B most cars in their(Aero) opinion do not need a bypass/return line---Because you have the tank in the rear in order to hav ample fuel supply I would run a -12 line to the reg --eliminate the Y and then run a -10 or at the minimum a -8 to each float bowl---as for a pump a Aeromotive/Weldon/Magnafuel will work just fine---- watch the current(Amp) draw on the pump you decide on--- stay away from Barry Grant and some of the Holleys they draw lots of Amps!!!!!
