As I continue to plan out my build/updates, I've considered going to a surge tank in the front of the car to prevent and fuel starvation and/or be able to use the full 16.4 gallons (plus whatever is in the surge tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).
My car probably won't ever see true slicks, but it still corners pretty hard, enough to slosh fuel away from the pickup I'm sure. I'm just curious if anyone else has ever felt the need for a surge tank in their cars, or has any particular tips/tricks before I begin my designs? Thanks! Happy race season.

Yeah the Holley Hydramat is pretty cool. But a surge tank accomplishes the same thing, and at least in these cars, isn't too much work. Just needed the go-ahead from an established racer like yourself Brant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) The accumulator was sort of the direction I was planning to go. Thanks!
