Chris: I put most of it on the scale and then tossed in some extras to attempt to simulate the components that arent ready to be weighed themselves yet. It looks like we will be 4-7 pounds. I believe under 5, but leaving room for the unknown.

9 Gallons down is pretty good, quite a length from stock. Thats about 10 left in the tank. We will see how far our product lets everyone go. As with anything, its not an easy comparison as every car and track is different. The more aggressive the car and the more wild the track, the more it will be working this product. Only time will tell what limits people find. Our hope is to get just about everyone to a pretty low tank level. I like to stay modest on our expectations and then surpass, rather than make promises and fall short. I am pretty good at this stuff, so I hope this one is another home run. We are very close now to track testing of the pre-production unit.

One thing that people DO need to keep in mind, is their poor stock fuel pump assembly. Our product targets resolving fuel pressure starvation to the engine. It DOES have a built-in secondary function that helps put more fuel back to the stock fuel pump assembly to keep that pump wet, but its focus is on the engine and only whats left over goes back to the stock pump assembly. Fuel pumps are not a fan of running dry. Starvation to the stock fuel pump assembly could shorten the life span of the factory pump. This is, of course, a relevent issue with any compariable type of surge solution for any vehicle. Its more just a heads up rather than a prediction of impending doom.

We are working on pricing more today. I am not sure when I quoted who what.. but we have gone through 3 different styles of solutions before picking this one, all of which have gone thru a few versions... so I cant recall at what point I estimated. I do know that the depth and refinement we have decided to take to the final product is going to make it cost a little more than we originally anticipated. We are going to build a little bit of detail into some of the "installation" components as well to try and make this as easy as possible to install correctly.. because there is room for error in making fuel line connections wrong, and in any combination other than "correct", will result in an unhappy driver.
