If the pumps "T" together on the rail feed line, then the feed line cannot flow the amount of fuel the the pumps are making. If you can feed the top of the rail where the relief goes with the top pump and feed the bottom of the rail with the bottom pump, you will get all the fuel that the pumps can produce to the rail. Volume is key. A relief valve is certainly a good idea. I haven't ran one in 3 years on my puller, but I am sure that I've paid for one many times over in broken injectors. This year I am switching my twin cp3 kit to a motorsports kit. It it setup really well with fuel volume in mind.
