Fuel return line ???

I am in the process of redoing certain
areas of my fuel system this winter to
better accomodate my 355 addicted
to a NX Hitman nitrous system.I am
currently running a Holley pro series
"black" electric pump.I run the Mallory
(#4309) 3 port regulator with return
line hooked up to the stock sending
unit.Question is..does the return line
have to extend to near the bottom of
the tank where it dumps inside?I am
going to weld an -8AN steel fitting to
the back of the tank for the main
feed line to the pump..no biggy
there.Did a few searchs and this
seems to be the easiest way along
with the problem of no way of running
a true sump with stock configuration
exhaust..muffler out back.Then I plan
to weld another -8AN steel fitting to
the topmost part of the tank on the
front (right behind the rear seats
driver side) for the return line.Do I
need to have a piece of steel fuel
line extend from the fitting (inside the
tank now) and turn 90 degrees down
into the tank to dump the returned
fuel closer to the bottom of the
tank?Or can I let it just dump from the
fitting up high on the tank?I have
heard from a few people (you know
how that goes...lol) that just letting it
dump from the fitting into the tank will
aerate the fuel if less than a full tank
of fuel and cause problems with
pressure,flow,etc.Anyone been thru
this..have ideas or suggestions more
than welcome.Anything is much
appreciated.
