Fuel starvation idea

Ive never had a full blown, "leave me stranded" kind of fuel starve, but I HAVE had a few engine stutters on a certain long right hander at the track!

Default Fuel starvation idea

Ive never had a full blown, "leave me stranded" kind of fuel starve, but I HAVE had a few engine stutters on a certain long right hander at the track! (turn 2 at high plains raceway is usually the culpret)

Here is a question. I understand people have flamed out and died on an on ramp/off ramp or big right turn. (It would take a pretty hard turn for street driving I'd say, but moving on) Has anybody who has stalled this way tried pulling out there jack and lifting up the left of the car as high as possible to re-prime their right side fuel pump? (I understand the pickup is on the right side, over the driveshaft hump)

I have ordered Phunk's fuel starve fix, but have yet to install.

Maybe this idea will help people avoid an expensive tow truck ride or long walk with a gas can??

I don't know how high one would have to jack a car to get fuel back over the hump... What do ya-all think?

p.s. please forgive me if this has already been beat like a dead horse, my search didn't turn up any similar ideas..., but I admit to not looking very hard.
