The returnless system has it in the tank so I figure it really does not matter. My truck is running fine now that I got the maf hooked up straight to the tb.
I looked up your regulator's instructions and found the reason I was confused. The Edelbrock regulator is labeled as you described, in, out, and return. My Magnafuel regulator's instructions label the ports in, in, and return. Their instructions even diagram it to have a line from each rail, and the return to the tank, and the rails fed from a y-fitting on the other end. I don't know if my regulator will work in your configuration, it might, but Magnafuel doesn't offer it as an option in the instructions. That's why when I saw your set up, I said "Huh?".

I should be able to let you know by sunday. I know for sure the open header sound is louder and the idle is much better. I am running a 230/236 591/601 on a 110 cam with 11 to 1 compression.

I can see where that would happen.

I should know something in a day or two on the tuning... at least get one wideband in there so we can get it nailed down... the other one can be simply for monitoring the other bank. I've gotta do some quick scanning on EFI before then though... I'm HPT brained LOL

well I have been doing a little reading and I already have a custom os for the speed density tune. Joe from EFI Live suggested we get the fuel trim lined out with the current os and swap everthing to the cusom os. I think we can use your hpt for logging and understanding what we need to do in efi live.
