to run a vent wouldn't you have to cut off the return line above the fuel level in the tank?

because an efi pump is made for 40 to 60 psi., you throw a reg thats made to regulate 5 to 8 pounds......need i say more. Iam not saying it doesnt work, just saying alot of people blow the seals out of the reg's.

an aftermarket plh style pump is what blows seals

a stock efi pump compared to a 190 or 255plh is where most mistakes are made..

but is this the right way? call holley and see what answer they give you.
