with 9/10s? I dont think there is enough empty space in the tank at that point to ever slosh is far enough to one side. Unless the fuel pump is mounted on the the edge of the fuel tank.

Ask Mike (the powdercoater), chris slicks, cossie or anyone else here that tracks aggressively.

Even my wife has had to keep the tank topped up betwn sessions and she is not as fast as the guys above...yet. (still getting comfortable with the Z vs our last cars that she tracked that were awd).

Though given the circumstances you kind of have to, but we are getting close to a fuel starve solution from what I have read. Currently in testing but so far it has had positive results.

yep, especially at ~6lbs/gallon for gas. Keeping the Z full is lot of extra weight.
I hope phunk's solution turns out well. I'm surprised it took this long, since I don't think it should be a difficult fix.

yep. very easy to get stutter-starve with a nearly full tank.

you can actually hear my car stutter-starve on some of our dragon runs, and god knows I wasn't driving hard.
