I want to get options on putting a "T" in the return line. would I get
pressure at this point? or should I tap the line between the lift pump and
the injector? my pump is oil feed, I saw another post some ware saying that
fuel pressure was not an issue with these pumps. so should I bother?

Fuel pressure isn't as big a concern with the P7100, becasue as you said,
it's got it's own oil supply for lubrication.. However, a pressure gauge is
always a good idea. The easiest way to add one is to replace the banjo bolt
on the output line of the fuel filter canister with a tapped banjo bolt.
This will allow you to screw in a 1/8"-NPT adapter. You can get a tapped
banjo bolt from Geno's Garage (http://www.genosgarage.com)
