The basket is to hold the fuel in, to have an ample supply for the pump. By drilling it full of holes you risk starving it, plus you'll always have to have the tank filled with gas.

The plan is to keep the tanks always with plenty of fuel. Both fuel pumps will be working full time and we will have return lines to both sides of the tanks.

ETA on completion? Also at what pace would you say it's being built? Daily (how many hours per), weekly, etc?

To clarify: completion does not imply 'final' stage. Referring to tuned and relatively issue free.

Great set up and updates Joel... Just thought I'd ask what kind of intercooler is that and or dimensions? Seems to fit great
