Keep more gas in the car. The other pending option is to get a custom fuel tank but that will be very inconvenient for a daily, street driven car.

So I see that we now can buy better fuel pumps for the Z but has anyone yet heard of any help on the fuel starving issue? It has been months since I last saw anything on this so I thought I would ask again.
