Default Pre-lubing engine question

I bought the Melling Engine Pre-Lube System. Has anyone ever used this on their LS1 or LS6 engine? I am thinking of tapping into the front gallery bolt and feeding the oil in from there.

I was wondering if that is a good location to tap for sending in the pressurized oil. From the video on the melling site that is what it shows but the instructions say the oil pressure sender.
