Understand that Box, and was something I am considering. The reason being that I have a carter electric pump previously fitted to the tank....I could use that to pump to a separate swirl tank.
However, I see this as duplication....I can understand Mike doing this as he will track his car but for a weekend driver I think that's an overkill.
It seems that a healthy LS2/L76 can be made to develop some 400 and a bit HP at the rear wheels with a cam and tune.
It also seems that the standard pumps are good for about that but for how long is the question. On the track one would need more fuel for sustained high revs., but on the road the only need might be between stop lights.
That's why I'm looking for an efficient in tank set up that is simple, yet wont starve the injectors for short distance at high revs.
I suppose that behind all this is my thought that 400RWHP is the point at which a cobra turns from an enjoyable drive into something that one needs to be very careful of.
Cheers and thanks for the help
