Just wondering if its a supply issue or just not enough fuel in the tank, another 20 litres of petrol would only weigh 14.5 odd kilo's, surely that wouldnt rob any time.

Then again, with the price of fuel these days..
I had a fuel problem during the second run and ran out and filled it up to full before I ran the 11.1sec pass.

I have fuel surge/starvation problems and have to run the car at over 1/2 tank when racing. I ususally run 3/4 to full at the track.

I run the Nizpro O44 intank setup ... Regardless of the problem I still think that it is the safest fuel setup as it is an intank replacement. This setup is generally pretty quiet and as safe as the factory unit.

Good stuff, wish my car had something similar.

1.7 60' on full REAL street tyre is off the hook!
Top stuff.

I hooked up 3 1.85sec 60 footers before that last 1.76 hookup so I was a bit surprised when you consider that the track was a bit average (again)

It was late in the night and there was a bit more rubber on the line compared to the start of the night which would have helped ...
