Bringing this one back from the dead. Curious how this setup has worked for you. Have you changed anything since original install? You mentioned possibly doing it with another OEM pump. How would that differ from the way you did it?So I can report that I have no more issues with fuel starvation at all at my track. Gotta wait for the border to open up to test some faster tracks. First 3 runs went all the way down to almost 1/4 tank and no sign of power loss whatsoever and air/fuel ratio stayed solid.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't catch that the transfer hose runs outside the tank. Thought it ran internally. Any reason why the hose could not be routed through the tank internally?So the setup remains the same, this year still no starvation issues, the border is still closed so I have not tried it at the ridge raceway or Seattle. This has worked very well for me. All I tried to achieve was to transfer the fuel from the passenger tank into the fuel hat of the main pump to keep it primed. I did this with just a pump screwed to the level sensor stem. I may eventually rig up an OEM pump in the passenger side tank as the openings are the same and use that to transfer fuel inside the tank rather than externally as it will be a cleaner install but I can report no issues with my setup so I have focused on other things with the car for the time being.

I'm not comfortable with fuel in the cockpit and don't want to build a secondary firewall so was hoping I could rig up a setup just like you did with the transfer hose inside the tang going across the saddle.
Just wanted to say Thanks to @AdmirC for the 2nd fuel pump idea in post #37 in this thread! I've been getting to the point of having starvation at 3/4 tank on left hand turns.Sorry the hose runs inside the tank currently, I was saying that if I ran an OEM pump I would do the same instead of have it outside like the OEM pumps do.
BS-1, the Holley Hydramat is a possible solutionSomeone makes a fuel " mat" that sits at the bottom of the tank and will do a pretty good job of picking up all the fuel.

Thanks, that was the name of it
