I've done this before. You have to use a bypass-style regulator on the return line, with the return line tee'd into the feed line. Worked like a charm. The plus is that the pump will handle more hp at the lower pressure.

That is the exact pump I run with my blow thru set up. Just get the matching regulator (return style/ boost referenced)

You would probably want to run an Aeromotive 13204 regulator.

thanks guys,thats what i'll do.

engineermike:so on the return line you would t' it back into the feed line and not back to the tank it's self like on most return style fuel systems? if so that would make things easier for me.

thanks,
johnny

No, you still have to run it back to the tank. What I'm saying is that the return line should "t" into the main feed line, go through the regulator, then back to the tank.
