"I have the by-pass filter on mine, and I was surprised at how much oil does flow through it. I could see the return squirting back into the fuel pump stand and the beehive filter was quite hot,"

It's not a good idea to return the oil to the fuelpump stand, as the drain from the valve compartment is quite small, travelling at highway speed it can become overwhelmed and empty the oil pan. you should return it to the front cover or the side of the oil pan. you may get away with it if you have removed the fuel pump pushrod!
