Default Weber: Fuel pressure fade

Hello All,

I have noticed that when my motor starts to warm up with the IDA 48 the fuel pressure starts to drop off.

My current fuel setup:

IDA 48
Holley Blue Fuel Pump
-10 Feed
-8 return
Bypass Regulator
Fuel Pressure 3.0

After pinching the return side of the regulator I noticed the pressure increased and the car ran different at idle.

I have also seen others post the same information about the fuel pressure fading. Many comments have been made that this is normal. I would like to find out if you guys that are experiencing the same fade have a return line.

Also would like to know if you are using a dead head regulator(a regulator that does not need a return line) or a bypass (regulator with a return port)

Thanks
