43 psi or 58psi?

I'm running a 97/8 line, and have a adjustable regulator on the rail - I have a line hooked up to it from the TB (where PCV use to be)... My static pressure doesn't seem to be affected by vacuum... so it's set at 50, and if I'm at full vac (Decel or idle) it's at 50, and if i am part throttle at 0psi, it's at 50. It goes up to 60 or so under boost.
I cannot explain why it does this, but it does. With that, couldn't you run a checkvalve the other way so your regulator only sees boost? so your static is still ~50 and the crossover tank and all still work while still giving you 60+ under boost.
I've never had a problem with mine running at 50 static and the dual tanks.
Maybe a check valve like in the link:

You will just have to ensure your pumps can handle the differential pressure. Meaning if you're running base pressure of 58psi and boost referencing the pumps, at 13psi, the pumps will be trying to push 71psi. A lot of pumps lose flow dramatically at that pressure.
So you would need some really good fuel pumps to push e85 at 71psi.
Game of give and take...

that should work just fine with twin 340s.
Or I just run static 58 and spend 1500 on kick *** injectors lol.

E85 has a much higher BSFC. So you will need those big *** injectors either way if that's your fuel of choice.
