I've just done some more reading and only when people get to very high power levels do they even consider adding a swirl pot to many hi po cars that come with nothing. Why is our swirl pot inadequate?

It depends on the car. The xr6t's have diff pumps to the f6. Which have you got?

BF xr6t, what is the difference between the pumps?

Worst that can happen is you surge, you run lean and grenade your engine...

Worst that can happen is a meteor can hit earth and kill everyone you love. So what?

Do you, personally, have evidence to support this?

The g force argument is a bit redundant.

To get it to move significantly around the tank to the point where your saying that the swirl pot will run out of fuel is just ludicrous.

You'd have to be doing some serious 4wding to get it to do that

So there is no real evidence at all to support the concept other than it being a great way to make money for a parts manufacturer?

If your say under 550rwkw I wouldn't think so

Above that you sort of belong in fuel cell territory

Although I'd like to see what the twin 460 in tanks will go to.
