running with small amounts of fuel
does any body else have problems when they running abit less than 1/4 tank or fuel when they give it some right foot.
since ive added a few mods seem to like run out of fuel when i give it a lot of throttle or under hard cornering and then just lose all power for a sec but only if i have less than about 1/4 fuel, is this dangerous to let happen would.
have thought it was fuel moving in the tank becuase this thing tends to squat an awfull lot on boost somtimes becuase my exhaust low if i pull a gear down it catch the floor .

hello mate
its just the stock pump is not that good when fule is below 1/4 tank been told this a couple of times before,maybe the pick up is to high so when fule drops you suck in air,allso when you go round bends you take fule away from the pump.............just have to keep it full of v power $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

its the fuel sloshing around in the tank, if ragging it don't let it go below 1/4. the pump will take a gulp of air causing the engine to run lean - not good!
