If there is enough interest, I am looking into building another batch of these now. Not sure if I should start a new thread for it perhaps? But I do need to gauge interest to give me an idea of how many to make, if any at all!

I am taking steps to investigate ways to try and reduce the cost a little bit. I am not sure if I will get far with that, or anywhere at all. Its pending some quotes I have going. But I would probably say its best idea to gauge it assuming the cost remained the same, and go from there. I know that if I can bring it down I will have a wider market. I intended to do some redesigning on it to make it easier to manufacture, but as time passes by, it just doesnt seem like something that is wise to invest my time into doing, for what I feel is a rather limited market.

From when I decide to pull the trigger on it and order material, we are probably looking at 8 weeks or so for production. Possibly sooner, but its hard to say having only made one batch so far.

If this product is something you would be interested in jumping on the next batch, please let me know. To date, I have not been contacted by any customers from the first batch to report any surprise issues.

I had a surprise issue! I didn't fill up my tank all day long at the track, and the car surprisingly didn't die :driving:

We have talked about that. For your basic FI kits on stock block under 550whp you will be OK. Or anything that may exceed 255lph. But any thing more than that Phunk will have to explain. There's a couple routes that can be taken.

At the same time I really wouldn't mind going with a return fuel system for this system.

synolimit 06-29-2013 03:31 PM

To much to read. Why does this work? Is it like a surge tank? Is our fuel pumps just dangling in mid air inside the fuel tank?

And we talked about this and it is completely unnecessary under 600 rwhp.:hello:

I still keep the surge can setup. It will just have a return fuel setup added to it. Along with two fuel pumps.

The stock pump effectively only pulls from one side of the tank with a big hump (over the drive-shaft) allowing all of the fuel to slosh sway from it. Phunk's product adds a second pump with its own second pickup on the other side of the tank. This second pump is in addition to the stock pump and lives inside a beautiful billet aluminum surge can. The new assembly is entirely contained within the stock fuel tank and the plumbing to the engine isn't changed. There is also some well engineered plumbing that goes on inside the tank to ensure long term reliability of the stock pump.

--A very happy customer.

I definitely have some interest. Wife and I intend to use the $20k+ that's now sunk into the Z. We both will be taking some lessons and getting some track time with it. I got fuel starvation on a right hander beating a light with 4-5 dots left. It took about 4-5 miles for the fuel gauge to read correctly again. I'm trying to squash any known issues this car has. Mine is SC'd and using Walboro255LPH already. I'm supposed to be around 500whp, but no numbers as GTM's still finishing things up.
