Default Fuel pump problem ? Kraftwerks kit

Hey guys maybe some one can help me understand what's going on with my car... Just super charged with new kraftwerks kit.. Think I have 350 cc fuel pump that came with kit .. I was at watkins glen Monday and Tuesday and comin around turn 9 my fuel would cut out and then cut back in .. Some times 2 or 3 times till it kicks bak in... And only around this hard flat left hander... Realized it does not do it with full tank ... Always second run... At the end I filled up every run and it stopped doin it.. Now after 2 runs input 8 gallons ... So I guess it's happening between 1/3 and 2/3 full tank .. Appreciate any feed bak thanks ! Is this common ? Any one else have this problem ?

Normal. Surge tank is the answer. I can normally get two or three 20 minute sessions before mine starts doing it, but you are using more fuel. 4 gallons per session doesn't surprise me you get it during your second session.

Depending on the track it will happen to me even with 80% full tank at the end of a session when on slicks. I don't see how that is even possible but I purchased the SOS surge tank to eliminate the issue.

Extended left hander will empty out the factory sump. Not enough baffling in the tank to keep the fuel from flowing with the Gs. Best solution to the problem is a surge tank.

Thanks for info fellas happy to know that's the problem ... Kit was great on track .. I had no hear issues .. I have koyo radiator also... http://youtu.be/EzInkoXAn5I here's a little vid ... A real good driver could prolly take some of these turns in third gear but I was in fourth most of the turns . As I get used to the power I will try third .. But felt I had enough power in fourth to come out of the apex fast and safe

Happy to hear the kit wasn't the issue itself. Surge tank definitely sounds like the solution. We carry a few different brands including Radium.
