Don't pretend to understand that. I paused for a moment at the exit for the parking lot and then applied some gas in 1st gear to pull into the street and I saw it blinking. The car was either not rolling yet or just starting to roll when I saw it.

The latter seems the easiest to me (bribe him with beer)!

He has a progressive double pump (BlaqOPs modified hanger). It's not stock. I'd have to either block off his progressive pump or reinstall the progressive controller on my car. No matter what it'd be a few hours of work and I'd have to have Shane re-check the fueling afterward or I couldn't be sure that it was safe.

I'm getting the feeling that there isn't a long-term solution that doesn't involve a surge tank, whether it gets filled up by the FB or stock hanger.

That's the problem, just like for our intake...they are custom and not for sale. Relatively few companies sell surge tank setups because they're tough to make street legal for crash reasons (the law seems to consider the trunk to be the 'passenger compartment').

Their inline 270lph setup would work but it's only good for the power level that I'm currently running (420-430@DB). You get past a single pump and the complexity gets pretty ugly.
