No one is rushing...this thread has been going on for months now. I just hope it all comes to fruition instead of petering out to another dead end unfinished product. UPDATES!!!!

Trust me this is not going unfinished... We have too much time into it. I am currently revising it again to accommodate the new walbro 400lph pumps as an option. This means we can ignore a triple pump option altogether and walbro is also close to releasing a true e85 compatible version of the 400.. Which means longer life span expectancy for e85 users.

Since we didn't finish it for last fall we are taking the time to refine it further for an early spring release. There are also other new 370 parts we are planning to release shortly after, so we having many dishes we are working on at once. We may appear silent from the outside right now but we are trying to play the sleeping giant at the moment.

Heh, so I was driving home on a VERY low tank not long ago. And I get the dumb idea to take a nice, sharp right hand off-ramp. Overall, its a 270 degree turn. Sure enough, I hit the top, and the car was D-E-D dead. Luckly, I kept my clutch pressed in and just coasted 500 feet in front of me to the gas station immediately off the thruway, right up to the pump. Worked out well

Im sure I would have been ok had it not been for the looooong right-hand off ramp that I took way too fast while I was low on gas.

I thought this would be a track issue only, and I've had the problem there at half a tank, but I also had a big issue with this on the street yesterday and a small issue with it last summer. The stock fuel system design is really lousy on this car.

Yesterday I had just over 1/4 tank of fuel (5 dots) indicated. Getting off an offramp on the way home, I have a long, tight 200 degree right turn. At around 30mph, I took it at close to the limit of the tires (at 28F - so not terribly fast) at part throttle in 2nd. The corner lasted about 3 seconds. The car lost all power at the end of the corner due to starvation.

I rolled to a safe spot and stopped. I tried to restart. Nothing - it tried but couldn't get any gas. The fuel gauge read 2 dots as soon as the car tried to restart, so I'm wondering if the earlier five dot reading was incorrect. And now, when it wouldn't start, the car still estimated over 100 miles to empty. I ended up getting a ride home and coming back with a gas tank. After adding a gallon or two it started right up.

I also had the issue once climbing a canyon road. It was a very steep grade, maybe 10-15 degrees, and with an indicated 1/4 tank, the car lost all power (starved) anytime I pointed the front end up the hill. I kept it in gear, rolled a u turn, and rolled more until fuel reentered the lines. I filled up the tank, came back, and climbed the hill with no issues.

Made a big change, waiting for a part to show up Thursday, I'm excited now
