No turkey pan, I also used Water Wetter (honestly don't think it makes a difference), and my regulator is mounted on the aluminum wheel well panel at the front driver's side, away from the engine.

On the point of 100+ octane gas, I tried that too and it didn't work. For those in the Bay Area, King's 76 on Rt 84 between the 280 and 101 has 103 Octane gas ($8/gal). I mixed a few gallons in. The tech guy at Holley pointed out to me that if that gas sits at the pump because few people use it, and it becomes stale, the downside of stale gas far outweighs the benefits of the octane boost. Debatable, but a good consideration.

Scootter, you may want to consider removing that fuel pressure gauge and only leaving it there while you are setting up the system. I've heard of instances of those breaking from the heat and vibration and starting fires. I just screw mine in to calibrate the system and then remove them and insert a plug. It only takes 2m to reinstall if you want to check from time to time.
