I set up my Holley Blue pump seven years ago like Eric. Painless relay and a Moroso return style fuel log/regulator. Runs like a champ. I believe running a deadhead style regulator on the street is asking for trouble. Excess fuel must be plumbed back to the tank to prevent cavitation and heat buildup in the pump housing. Also a poor mounting location (too high) and restrictive inlet and outlet fittings will assure a short pump life. These are basics to any good fuel system but when they get ignored then the pump gets blamed. I've run Holley pumps for 30 years without one issue ever.
