RedRocket260z Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 if i were to put a roadrace fuel cell in my 260z/lt1 car, would i ever have a fuel starvation problem in a 9-10 sec straight line pull? I plan on lifting tires, and going high 9's low 10's in the 1/4, but right now, i have 1/2 tank fuel starving problems. I also want to track the car, like on a road course. But i want to get rid of the fuel starving problem first. it will suck if it starves of fuel, when im on nitrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've got a fuel safe fuel cell in my ls1 track car. It has the in tank fuel pump. I have no starvation issues. When the car sputters, it's all but empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket260z Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 yea, well i already have a bosch 044 fuel pump, so im going to have to go with a roadrace cell or drag cell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Use a pusher pump to feed a surge tank and run the Bosch pump from the surge tank. My other car is set up like that and it works very well on the road course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 You can also mount the pressure pump even with or below the bottom of the fuel tank and it will feed via siphon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zclubhouse Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 ....I plan on lifting tires, and going high 9's low 10's in the 1/4....

I'm curious how you plan to hook to run 9's and still go roadracing with the same car/suspension etc? It would be quite the feat, Ive just never seen cars that are that specialized for the quarter try to pull double duty. Whats the plan?

I am trying to make room for exhaust on the passanger side and would like to keep the fuel pump in the tank. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
