I would run a Mallory 3 port return reg, at least that way you can bring the pressure down to under 7 psi at the needle.

yes toryman do what u want in nz tell ya wht late model roller cam injected v8s go even harder with carbs on them dnt know why always thought injecton was the way to go only thing is its uses heaps more fuel now. but putting a carb on a au xr8 engine is a mint upgrade especially in the higher rpm
