in tank fuel pump
i have been having fuel starvation problems when my car under 1/4 tank under hard acceleration and hard cornering, and i have been thinking about doing a fc in tank fuel pump setup.
everyone i have read about doing in tank pumps is for fuel injected cars, or people doing swaps so they are keeping their high pressure pumps. alot of reading i have done said that doing a regular high pressure in tank pump with a regulator to get it down to 7 psi would kill the pump in a hurry.
and i was wondering if there is a way to have a in tank pump that is a low pressure setup.

If you decide you want to run an intank,you could use a GM TBI fuel pump on the FC holder,and regulate it down to the proper 5-6lbs of pressure.
Rochester TBI only needs 12-13psi to work,so its not like youll be strangling the pump down 30-40 psi.Baffled,intank pumps have many benefits in addition to solving slosh issues.They are quiet,completely protected from the elements,auto-priming and they run cooler.

As for the anti-slosh aspect, the best fuel cell arrangements use a surge tank internal to the fuel cell with trap doors. This same setup is used whether the pump is internal or external. There are mini surge tank or reservoir setups that often come attached to internal pumps, but once again -- this same setup is easily adaptable to the fuel pickup for an external pump.
For my money, I like external -- easier to access, plus my favorite pump -- the Bosch Motorsport 044 -- comes as an external on the Porsche 911 Turbo.
