Fuel Pump mod for better efficiency?
Anyone read this article or tried this?
http://blackhaloracing.com/technical/fuel-pump-tech/ The mod is toward the bottom of the page, and I'm especially interested if this might work on an 04, and if it would up your gas mileage? :squint: |

I was stalling out in hard left turns at the track. I haven't tracked the car in a long time so that didn't bother me. On long trips the car started stalling when the tank got low (pump over heating). That was a problem. It takes about 1-2 hours to remove, mod the assembly and reinstall. |
