My fingers are crossed for a simple solution (swap out the stock tank for a baffled replica or something similar).

Thanks guys!
I can guarantee you will as you make the car faster. I didn't have any issues with it at Buttonwillow when the car was stock except for coilovers. Then got better street tires for Willow Springs and it started happening around 1/2 tank. Then got sway bars/better alignment/wider tires and it started around 3/4 tank. Basically the more lateral gs your car can handle the more the fuel issue becomes a problem. I talked to a few people at the time attack about making a simple fuel surge tank kit specifically for the 370Z that will be easy enough for most to install. It will be a must do mod like the oil coolers are before getting into tracking the 370Z. Hopefully we don't uncover any more major engineering failures as we continue to make the car faster. AE Performance had the same issue with their 370Z by the way so I am really doubting its a fluke thing.
