So way back in the day when I had a few dozen Syclones & Typhoons. There was a TSB on the Syclone gas tank. Under Hard Acceleration with the fuel below 1/4 tank there would be starvation issue.

and i am enjoying watching this build as one day I will build another one or just buys yours.

Pretty sure all GM vehicles had fuel issues if you took the tank below 1/4 tank during that era, Marty. If it wasn't fuel starvation it was fuel pump burn out. I've had GM almost my entire life. I rarely ever let the fuel get low enough to turn the low lamp on because of this. Hell, with my 96 Formula, I rarely went below 1/4 tank because of the issues with GM pumps. Terrible design looking back on it, but that's growing pains and learning about fuel injection.
