    His 96 fuel pump will be fine as long as it is in good working condition.

    i have a returnless rail also, i used vette filter/reg to keep the cost down. are you sure your pump is going to work? i researched before i did my swap and found the fuel pressure was not sufficent.

    Does that run it down to a returnless style setup? O r will I have to go back through and redo alot of lines?

    Yes, the vette filter/regulator will work for you. You will have to do some adapting from your current lines to the quick fittings though since your existing lines have a threaded fitting. If you do use the non-referenced vette regulator, you MUST change the injector flow rate data in the tune to compensate. I know about 90% of people that do this don't make that change in the tune, so they are starting out with bad injector data.
