So, what are you looking for, tips on how you would use it?

You'd feed that surge tank with an in-tank (main tank) pump that would run wide open (or with a FPR), then you'd feed your engine with a pump mounted in that surge tank. You'd have a return line going from the surge tank to the main tank so that when it was full it would just return to the main.

It would probably HELP, but it wouldn't fix the issue without additional lift pumps to keep the flow coming in all situations. I think the engine could gobble up that surge tank's capacity in no time.

The stock fuel pump assembly has a small surge capacity built in to it. I plan on engineering a low cost solution where I feed that surge capacity with 2, 3 or 4 low-cost lift pumps. All in all, I think I can do it for less than the cost of that surge tank, easily. Jury is still out on whether or not it would be enough, though.

Oh, and it looks like that tank is really set up for a return system, so you'd need to convert to that at the same time. Look at spending about 1200 bucks before any labor.

Might as well buy Phunk's thing.

lol that's what I thought, sounds like it. Just dont want to spend $1200 on fuel starve, just been filling up each session!!

Have way too many upgrades needed before fuel fix!

Right now working on all SPL bushings upgrade, custom valve and respring my coilovers to 14K all around, headers install+ custom hfc/test pipe+single exhaust hopefully.

I hear ya.

Are you re-springing your coilovers based upon math, or shooting the dark?

I plan on getting my car corner weighted once the cage is done and then doing the math workup on the suspension to find the right spring rates.

I'd be willing to share the process with you if you have any interest?

I can tell you my numbers will probably be in the neighborhood of 14k front 10k rear, just guessing off of what I know about the car, but I plan on doing the math as accurately as possible to get the best starting point.

Shoot me a PM or something if you want.
