Thanks dude! We're working on making an affordable version of our brake duct system that works with our brake kit, and it should be available sometime this summer. As for the tank, we just had a meeting, and we will have two solutions to offer.

First option is the full race setup that I already talked about. This is not cheap, but if you are building a full race car, it is the right option, in terms of weight distribution, fuel pickup, and crashworthiness. This is for our full on racers, Grand Am, World Challenge, etc.

Option two is something a little less radical, and is a perfect option for the track day and autocross kind of guys. We will be designing and engineering a surge tank that drops into the stock tank and uses the stock pumps as lift pumps to keep the surge tank full. This will be a little less effective than the full cell, but will certainly be more affordable and is perfect for the more casual track driver.

We'll be able to get prices out after we finish our race cars, run a couple races and finally have a little time to make some prototypes and price them out.

Thanks!

Mike
