Default .074 performance loss during violent spin (2)

What affect will installing a check valve on the fuel supply line to a .074 Norvel have?
Is there a performance loss/gain with this design architecture?

From what I gather, putting a check valve on the pressure tap (muffler) has a negative affect on engine performance

Don't know. You should try it, I never have. Off the top of my head I dont think it would hurt anything. I've never really had a need for one with any 1/2 A plane. It may help your engine/spin problem if fuel delivery is the culprit.

Not even in a parallel universe would I put a check valve on the SUPPLY line!?!

A check valve in the pressure line can increase the tank pressure 2x and make it more consistant. You have to remove it to fuel the tank or the captured pressure will not allow you to fill the tank. Better than muffler pressure alone, not as good as a pump.
