Fuel Issue Please Help
Good afternoon fellas!
I have a 1997 Corvette with the following modifications:
LQ9 6.0L
LS3 Intake
LS3 Fuel Rail
LS3 Heads
LS3 Throttle Body
LS3 Style 72# Injectors
V3 T Trim Blower
114 LSA Cam
UPP Fuel Kit
Kooks Headers
BB Exhaust
The issue I am having, a 1997 C5 fuel rail has a fuel return, the LS3 fuel rail that I am using does not have a return.
I purchased the UPP Fuel Kit to install (a stand alone system that does not mess with the factory fuel system), I believe the 90 degree fitting fits to the schrader valve on the front drivers side of the fuel rail. (see the photo in this thread)

What are my options? Can I use a fuel filter/regulator out of a 2002 corvette to replace the fuel return from the early C5 rail?
(see photo in post 10)

With this said, I have a few questions.
Do I need the fuel return?
If not, can I delete the fuel return and what would it effect?
If I do need the return, could I get a remote fuel pressure regulator and plumb the feed and return using that? If I can do this, what regulator would I have to purchase?
Sorry about the questions, I am new to this.
Thanks!
