I noticed www intengineering com has a universal surge tank pump. Anyone using that one?
some of the guys talked to the Nissan pro driver at Petit Lemans, and they are running a second fuel pump in the other side, I believe. I got there a little late for the details, but I do recall hearing it was a volvo pump or something.

Right now, since after today I am done until spring, I'm waiting to see CJs solution.

speaking of which, I got these tires back in September, and they don't clear my control arms without spacers. I've been wondering for 2 months how they fit on your car and not mine, and I got your specs on my forgestars, then just yesterday I realized they aren't on my forgestars, just my 350z wheels! doh!
