Question fuel reg return kit?

I saw this on ITP's site. Whats it objective for the price point it sells for? How would you know if you really needed it or if its just a wanted toy by most powerstokers?

in most cases its not needed.(you can use the CCK instead).but the concept of it is nice..it helps flow cooler fuel by going into the front of both heads and exits through the rear for a good even flow.and a nice clean look....the stock 1/8" line lay in the heated valley and travels to the back on the passenger side..and again in the valley to the front driver side..if your going to re rout your fuel line..its almost a no brain er to increase the size as well to keep a good supply of fuel to the injectors...they claim it shortens the life of the filter..but with the in tank kit it gets filtered there as well before the pump and I make it habit to change my filter every 5000 miles any ways..(these injectors are very pricey) .so that's not a big deal to me..IMO if it cleans 3 times the amount of fuel then stock..that has to be a good thing...should not ever need to worry about dirt and water building up in the tank..

It does just as the site says.


significantly increased fuel flow
eliminating starvation of the #8 cylinder - gets rid of the #8 ping
Removes any remaining air in the fuel system-
resulting in increased injector life and less injector noise.

A must if you plan to install new injectors IMO. You can see the difference if you run a fuel pressure gauge prior to installing the regulated return.
