Will there be any of that foam or other material to prevent fuel sloshing put in there, Payton? I know nothing about a NASCAR fuel cell. I just figured there would be something in the tank to help keep the fuel around the pump.

Car's looking good as always now that it's in capable hands.

That is just the protective case that the actual cell fits into. Either foam or rubber blader.

Plan on running the car everywhere I can. Carolina Motorsports Park is 1 hour from here, Road Atlanta is 3, VIR is 2. I am close to some nice tracks.

...But it will be tagged for the street too! Vanity plate "ECBMF" East Coast Bad Motor Finger

I can get an out-of-date NASCAR bladder for $200. Per rules they can only race with them for 3 years, but they are good for 10 to 15 years. So as stated above, will have a bladder along with foam. Will be using a CTS-V pump with the help from Carl at Vaporworx.

It is an 18 gallon cell.

Are you really that close to VIR? I would have thought almost double that time!

What are you towing with? ;-)

So you heard about my mid-life crisis / daily driver/ tow vehicle?





Skulls on the dash





And the plate that sums it up.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

LOL... if anyone's car is a little bro to the other... it's me to you!

So one CTS-V pump is good enough for 800 hp? I know jack about the LS EFI stuff..

And don't forget the surge tank that sits inside in the middle/rear (shown on that PDF link).
