Thinking thats my next major upgrade but oh well I run bio so worth the wait I suppose.
I did the ITP HPX too, first thing I noticed when I first installed it was my idle went up about 50-75rpm but after a couple times of running it has went back to normal, I just assumed it was because everything was running better.

i've been eyeing the regulated return myself... i gotta get a few of the basic mods done first, like gauges, new exhaust and hutch and harpoon and in-tank and pre-pump mods done before i can get the regulated return... at my pace the new kit will be out well before i get around to ordering and installing it!

I like the look better without the convoluted tubing and have been down that road here about pulling it off but I made sure my hoses don't rub against anything. If my crappy camera battery ever finishes charging, you will see pics of them in my DIY fuel system mod post.

The only thing I will point out is that the stock HPOP lines to the heads are SS braided HOSES. That's right, HOSES. Just pull the convoluted tubing off of them and you will see.

Anyhoo, I did as MJLEWIS, and ordered the hard line kit from ITP and changed it this weekend. I can say that some of the SSbraiding off the old line had worn and was probably about to get a bubble in the rubber. So what can I say FTE saves me again.
