Thumbs up AAM Basic Fuel Return System Installed!

I had my AAM Basic Fuel Return System installed at Forged Performance yesterday. They did a great job with the install! There was a little trouble mounting the Aeromotive regulator dude to the fact i have a Kentix intake manifold on the car. Sharif and the team at Forged quickly found a solution to the problem by making a longer fuel line from the rail to the regulator, which was mounted beside the manifold on the battery compartment. My reason for doing the AAM Return System is because my factory fuel pressure regulator stopped working. It is a very nice product and fixed my fuel psi issue. The only thing i would suggest to AAM is make a kit designed to work in conjunction with the Kenitx SSV intake manifold....Thank you again Sharif and everyone at Forged Performance for the great install!

Here is where the regulator is supposed to go. As you can see the Kenitx manifold leaves no room for mounting.

the ssv performs very well with the 100 shot..last time dyno'd on spray it made 340hp 344tq (with standard heat spark plugs)...I have to get it re-tuned for 125 shot....in june or july building the bottom end,cams, valves+springs,GT42R, and a 125 shot for the launch/spool. E/T streets should hold it....also I originally bought the ssv to complement a vortech on 10psi...but I ended up selling the vortech to a buddy of mine
