If I decide to keep the Firebird, the new Ricks tank will be the next upgrade.
The car is looking great. Can't wait to see it in person.

I wish you would keep the car. You put a lot of work into that thing, not to mention a lot of money. You might as well enjoy it!
As far as your Power Tour experience, that freakin blows. Another case and point the Aeromotive/Tanks Inc. setup is not a good option for people that drive these cars like they are supposed to be driven.
I just noticed Summit Racing changed their description for the tank.

The last sentence wasn't there until I provided my feedback:
These powdercoated tanks also feature an innovative baffling/tray system to control fuel slosh and keep the fuel pump submerged. Aeromotive Stealth tanks are designed foremost to provide superior EFI street performance with OEM fitment, finish and drivability. The 340 pump supports up to 700 hp EFI forced induction, 800 hp EFI naturally aspirated, and over 900 hp carbureted engines, as well as supporting normal driving down to very low levels of fuel in the tank.
They also added this under notes:
This tank includes a GM 0-90 Ohm sending unit, installed Aeromotive 340 Stealth electric fuel pump, and billet aluminum fuel pump hanger.
Stealth Fuel Tanks are not engineered for competition drag racing or road racing applications where extreme acceleration and cornering will occur with fuel levels lower than 1/2 tank
What's crazy is it won't even support normal driving conditions at very low levels. Tu, I believe your case verify's that! Correct me if I'm wrong.
