Update, had a bad night at Atco Friday night, see link to thread on TF, having some darn misfire issues.

Hoping some people might see this because i'm wondering if any NATO guys have any issues racing with less then 1/2 tank of gas. I think i've been racing with anywhere from 5-gallons to a little more than 1/4 tank and wondering if i might be running into fuel pickup issues.

I guess if i dont really get a response i'll start a new thread in General section

After looking through the logs it looks like every pass i made this year on slicks goes way lean right around or through 60' right before shifting into 2nd, then shortly after getting into second leans out real bad again but is completely fine in 3rd and 4th, AFR is stable

If you replaced your fuel pump at any time, I hope you didnt use the new black rubber piece (goes on the bottom of the pump) that comes with the kit. The new one that comes with the kit locates the pump 1/4 to 1/2 inch higher in the tank. Re-use the old one. Im glad I saved my old one after having problems. I put it back in with the new pump after discovering this and I can launch my car with less than 1/8 tank of gas now.
