you can buy a fuel inlet fitting for your carb that has a return line on it.

Holley blue is 14+ psi. thats too much pressure. A holley red with regular holley PFR will save you $$$ for at least a 12-Pack of beer. Also, if you enlarge the IDA's fuel bowl (im referring to knocking out the partition), you can run the fuel pressure to 4 psi wtih no problem of fuel starvatiion at high RPM.
