Default is fuel return needed?

Hey guys looking for your input on a fuel return. I am running the AAM TT setup and have a aeromotive 340 fuel pump upgrade being added. Can I get away with not having a fuel return kit for the time being? or is this something that I should def be getting right away? I hear a little bit of both as chatter when I talk to people about it

IS A MUST. No twin turbo 370z should be running without a fuel return system. Thats the one area i personally would go overboard with

Seen many guys running a boosted z without a fuel return. Cap on a conservative tune is about 475 without a fuel return. Because of the way the fuel system is set up with a conservative tune it runs out of fuel around that mark. An aggressive tune can go higher.

I have a had a 340 fuel pump installed for my supercharged air to air setup on 93 pump gas (98 Octane here) with no issues and no fuel return setup at 450whp.

I just got done with my AAM TT build and unless you want to start your full block build in a month I would suggest getting a kit from CJM. It will make life so much easier and you'll save the money in the long run.
