So a quick question... If putting on a surge take and an 044 plazmaman fuel kit do I also need to upgrade the factory in tank pump to feed it? I am chasing 500 rwhp.

Yes and or no

On a 10 year old ba I would, have seen surge tanks sucked dry from a weak lift pump

A fg no they have great in tanks

Its an extra say ~ $200 tops for a system that u now know will be all new and complete

Worth the few extra penny's imho

how come old school rules don't apply with ba/bf/fg fuel systems ...?

eg . my 10 second rx3 had surge with 044 but was using holley blue high VOLUME pump to feed the surge...

but in these cars high PRESSURE is sufficient

same rules apply, running too large a fuel pump feeding the surge can result in a fuel back up in the entire system

so in our cars ,,, fuel return still goes from engine to surge then surge back to tank ? or no,, ? hence the back up
