Surge Tanks

Has anybody ever ran a surge tank or knows anybody who has one?

I've been looking at these a bit the past couple days and they seem like they are a pretty good option for people wanting to keep the stock fuel tank, have an external pump, and keeping base fuel pressure down.

An example from link.



Since I don't plan on upgrading my fp hta DSM82 turbo any time soon because it's not super laggy but don't think it has enough in it to hit my goals for the car. So I wanted to switch to a direct port nitrous setup and shoot a decent shot at it. I don't really have any real power goals in mind, but want to get as close to a 150mph trap as I can.

With that in mind, do you guys think that my 255hp feeding a surge tank (like the one above) through stock lines, an 044 with a boost a pump on it feeding the rail, 1600s, an aftermarket regulator and a stock return would work?

Just kicking around the idea but I would like to upgrade my fuel system somewhat and being as cheap as I am, I would like to do it once and cheaply.

If you have any other ideas or other tips I am all ears!
