Thanks Brent. BTW Brent will be testing my new design on my upper A-arms. They are pretty bad a$$ IMO. I have been running mine for two seasons but he will testing then on the track, mine have only seen AutoX's.


And the list goes on with pictures.

The first pic is the custom surge/anti slosh tank installed in the 5 gallon cell. It basically fills itself with the return. If the tank fills to the top I have a drain hole on the top of the tank to drain excess out. The little red thing on the right is the one way valve which is mounted on the opposite side of the picture. I do not have a LP pump feeding this but I can run very low on fuel and still not starve. I have estimated by weight that I have been down to 2 gallons with no issues. Also I have mounted the stock low gas warning light inside the surge tank. If the light comes on that means the surge tank is below half way ( it has never came on). Oh! did I mention that my stock sending unit is still operational.


The second pic is a picture of the fuel pump with filters. I used chevy truck stock filters. If they fail at a race I will not be stuck since every Advance or Autozone has these in stock. Also (Speedjunkie) you can see the custom V-brace in this picture. it attaches the diff cradle to the car and helps with PPF flex (maybe).


The best thing about this fuel pump set up is that the stock plastic cover fits over it and hides everything. I removed it for the picture but I run the plastic to protect the pump and filters from rocks and such.
