I think your onto something there with the tank. Everything else should keep up with fuel flow. I have wondered the same myself, but no one has really looked into that. Then again gm never planned on putting 500 ponies through a v6.

Cool! I've left messages with ZZ Performance and PT Performance to see if either can help with a HPFP solution. The symptoms sound a light like what the Cobalts and Mazda Speed 3s experienced. Evidently it isn't the pressure so much as the volume drops off in the mid range because it is mechanical. I saw a right up of why. Vince did the same thing others have tried, namely turning up the pressure and widening the pulse down low and that just ran into problems up high. Of course you saw what happen with yours. I've got a few other ideas if Jeff doesn't come up with anything. Good luck man, I want to see 500 RWHP out of your car!

I want to see 450 reliable HP but if I can get 500RWHP I'm going to do it as long as I don't nuke my engine ......

Dude, if he solves the fuel problem I don't think he's going to do it for a measly 20-30 HP. Come on, be the first to find the weak link.

Well, piston landing is going to be a weak point but maybe ok as long as there is no detonation... but when you start pushing close to 500 RWHP, my guess is the rod bolts will let go... that is my guess of the day! LOL

Agree that it will be getting risky at those levels. That's why we are starting on Phase 2 (see the other site). Custom forged pistons to lower the CR, new rods and bolts plus some other goodies

Still have to solve this fueling issue, but I think we are close.

o0o0o0o0o Glad to hear my man.

So was SC1720(im sorry, I forgot his exact forum name) able to offer up any ideas? He was the one who finished your install, so I was just curious.

Im actually going to be talking to Impressive Rides in Tampa tomorrow. They are looking at doing turbo v6 shop car, so I thought I would run them by SC1720 when I sat down with them. Impressive is the one who is doing my MRT install...

Yes, SC2150 (Tracy) has been involved all along. He's got several ideas and is just waiting on my car to get back to him to test them out. It should ship out of LR on 6/10 or 6/11.

PM him and I'm sure he'd love to talk to you and show you his new shop.

Isn't a big deal at all. Vince emails you the tune. You follow step by step program instructions. Datalog a few, and send back. Mine didn't need any adjusting at all. You just tell him all mods you are dealing with, and he does the rest.
