I don't know whether it's corporate politics or stubbornness that prevents Holley from telling buyers about the need for return type regulators. Either way, a deadhead regulator is fine for drag racing where the motor is running for 2 - 3 minutes at a time. For anything else a return type regulator is the key to stable pressure and long happy pump life. I like the log style regulators from Mallory and Moroso for their simplicity and functionality. I went with the Moroso and put the $180 difference to work elsewhere. Works great and my fuel pump seems content also
