Surge tanks have their own pump. The fuel pressure in the stock system is regulated at the stock pump. Any external surge tank is going to require re-plumbing to a return fuel system. Really, just go to punk's in-tank solution. Another happy customer.

The in tank system from phunk is the bomb for street/track car.
