I am posting this so whoever decides to run a cell like this in their car may learn this like I did before they purchase.

You are making the same mistake on that thinking that Rob made and I was about to make. It may seem counterintuitive, but if you are running a single fuel pump the single surge tank and pickup in the rear-center is the recipe for road racing. Ken @ I/O Port Racing in Lafayette explained this to me and encouraged me to call ATL for their guidance. I did, and the tech there said the exact same thing.

The dual pickups in the corners are fine if you want to run dual external fuel pumps but I don't see many of us around here doing that. If you run the duals with one pump and a Y-manifold as Rob and I were planning on doing, I was advised by both I/O Port and ATL that this way would cause you to suck air on the opposite side of a corner. Never a good thing.

I am not playing the weight game yet so I went with the steel can. The alum can in silver finish looks pretty cool though.

I might have to grab one of those trap door thingamaboxes too.
Well the car would still likely lose to Richie.

The surge tanks seems to be the ticket for what we do. It can be had for about $200.
