Default Fpr regulator for boost?

Hey going return setup on my nnbs truck. Can I run a boosted setup on a c5 return filter and regulator setup? I know I have to reference the injectors for boost but is it possible to do it with that setup and stock rails or do I need a boost reference regulator and aftermarket rails?i have Holley rails but wanted to save for a big project Thanks

Do not use the vette filter/reg on that. Get a real regulator and real rails.

I like aeromotive personally, but anything not a Chinese knock off would be fine.

You going to run a new feed and make your old feed a return? I'm doing my rails and injectors right now and mounting mine to the firewall, cleaner look. The crossover runs under the TB and all lines are routed at the firewall.

A regulator mounted to the firewall is not NHRA approved.

it's rather easy to make a small bracket to mount it to the side of the master cylinder... it also makes a good path for the return to travel down the frame rail.

I made a bracket and mounted mine off the master cylinder stud. Very clean and easily accessible.

What I’m doing is using an aeromotive FPR for my setup. It’s a tbss intake which is returnless, but the way I have it setup, the stock lines will plug straight into the FPR, and the FPR will plug straight into the fuel rail. I’ll post a pic tonight of it.
