Heaps of info found on intank pump upgrades, Pitlanes pump testing thread is gold! What I cant seem to find is the crossover point of an intank pump, which I have, to requiring a surge/044? This is a very grey area I know but was hoping some new data may be available like pitlanes on the standard pump.

Based on pitlanes testing I thought 280 would be the requirement for an intank pump, but getting a bit off topic, is the standard fuel reg and return up to the increased fuel supply of an 044? Dont want an unstable rail pressure making a good tune almost impossible.

The factory rail regulator is not up to coping with the 044 increased flow and will bump rail pressures up, either an aftermarket or blueprinted reg is your best bet.

Although it is best to upgrade your reg the higher rail pressure it can be still be tuned around to work well.

I have a standard rail and reg that is fed by an aeromotive A1000.

Was tuned on e85 16 months ago to 400+ kw and I have have no issue to date.

Surge tank isn't just for performance, its also for safety. You can get fuel surge in a standard xr6t, save that little bit extra and put one in because murphys law says you'll have a nice car to run beside you and you'll only have 1/4 of a tank and that's a no go.

Happened to me when I had 370 on 98, mate came up on his 600 R1 and I had less than a 1/4 tank, gave it some gas and felt it surge so backed off,

the next week the surge tank and A1000 were fitted.
