Thank you, sir, for the praise! I wish that I could have patented that baffle--I would have been rich! That vehicle made it to dealer showrooms with my baffle, and I have not heard of one instance where fuel starvation occurred! When I did the test driving, I pushed the vehicle to the safe limit for the venue and conditions, thinking that no civilian driver would come close to the centrifugal, decelerative, negative g loads, etc. that we put on the fuel system. An average track junkie might reach those loads, but I have not heard of that vehicle being raced.
For your Z, establish a baseline so that you don't have to take a wild guess at the number and diameter and height of the holes (ports sounds more technical :-) Look at your data-logger data for the longest duration and highest g-load curve on the tracks that you will frequent where the fuel starvation occurred. Drill a port in the baffle and fill the baffle with water. Does the baffle stay filled with water for the duration of the curve? If yes, you have a good starting baseline. It will be a trial and error process, but getting a good baseline with your data logger will save you a bunch of time. Cool Tool! Z-U-later! Greg
