This is also evident from the 100's of turbonetics cars on the road that are running in accepible AFR's, or even rich, on 380cc injectors.
Still, people won't believe it works due to the fact that some shops claimed it's "required".

if he tunes it for = or under 400whp why shoudl he give you one... its not needed at those power levels... if he gives you a 440+whp tuned car or higher id look more into the FRS
the fact that you are going Fi means you motor coul blown up anytime anyways, even with fuel return its not fail safe

I wish them well with that. More often than not, problems are caused by owner neglect or tinkering. I'm just hoping it doesn't backfire when they have to deny warranty claims because of it.
Every shop on here has an "unspoken" warranty. 90% of them will fix any issues related to their own work if it is brought back within a certain time. Jeremy's is no different. He wouldn't let a car leave his shop if it were running in an unsafe manner.

so you won't be running a return fuel system with your new setup? what about Chris? i know he was waiting for the CJM Stg 3 .. has he changed his mind also?

This thread is about stock blocks, not built motors.

I read that, but that is not what the thread is about now there is it? Read the first post of this thread. It clearly states what it is about.

I assure you he's been doing this longer than 1 year. Besides, most of the already established shops in this business won't try anything new because they're afraid of the possibilities.
This whole RFS debate is along the lines of the TT vs ST debate. It's the sheep that prefer to take the easy route and do what they're told vs the individuals who are willing to try something new and push the envelope in a different direction. I think it's great that Jeremy is willing to try things beyond the norm.
