Helmets are encouraged during Touristenfahrten but not required. HANS devices are prohibited. You are not supposed to film . . . . lol

That is what I was wanting to know. I would appreciate it being more quiet in the car BUT It probably won't impress passengers as much when you whack the throttle wide open in Track Mode and they get that blast of high rpm electronically enhanced exhaust "WTH was that???"

Did they mention a driving range?

So a KPM fuel pump (returnless) like the 1500 would not handle it?

Ok, well, I have a Dark Horse, so I did not know that. Nevertheless, I would track a car for HPDE days without any differential cooler or temperature sensors. I bet the vast majority of cars at HPDE days do not have these things. I do not really see that as an issue.

You can display your oil, transmission, and diff temperatures on the dashboard as you are doing your run to give you peace of mind. I would also bet that 99% of the cars running HPDE Track Days have no brake cooling ducts. No worries.

The Dodge Dart weighed more like 3000 way back when. 1969 GT Hardtop coupe was 2821 lbs, GTS was 3100, and that had a big block.

#45 As pictured above the stock Mustang pot has 2 venturis and 1 refill umbrella valve. 1 venturi siphon is used to draw fuel from the RH side of the saddle tank into the fuel pump bucket 1 venturi siphon is used to draw fuel from the LH side of the saddle tank into the fuel pump...

engineermike wrote, "Yes, kpm and oem have this figured out. Once the level falls below the hump, it does its best to keep all the fuel on the drivers side by way of the overflowing bucket. And with the way the venturi pump and vapor separation work, there is no concern about getting air sucked...

For comparison, here is the stock pump. Four venturi and two umbrella valves in the KPM photo above v. two venturi and one umbrella valve in the stock photo below. DS = Driver side PS = Passenger side

So I read the whole thing, and if I am understanding what I read correctly, the problem is not that the driver's side goes dry, while all the fuel is over on the passenger side saddle (the theory I have read here on the forum) but that there are only two venturi. When cornering hard, one...

Also from page 3, by KPM: "The KPM fuel bucket requires 10lph for each venturi jet. 4 venturis jets = 40lph total Each venturi siphon draws 363lph from the tank into the bucket 4 venturi siphons = 1452 lph total 1452lph - 40lph = 1412 lph bucket refill rate." and We tested the standard...

Photo from page 3 of one of the KPM systems.

Ewheels, thank you for sharing that. So three pages in, they discuss that there is a 1/8" line that feeds one of the venturis, which is how the fuel is transferred from the passenger to the driver side. On page one, KPM notes: Two venturis, one pulls from each side of the tank. So . . . the...

Could you elaborate a little, please? I mean, the hump for the driveshaft has to be there internally, too, right? Or am I missing something obvious?

Just do it!!!! :like: Have fun. I am sure it will be fine and do well. I would bet your pads and fluid are already good enough to have an enjoyable track day.

I am a huge fan of bronze wheels, especially if they are not shiny.

The S550 and S650 tanks look very similar, so there must be a similar method of operation. Moreover, this is a common fuel tank design in sporty, low cars where the driveshaft passes under the tank (the hump is to clear the driveshaft). I was reading on a BMW Z4 track forum about this fuel...

This country was a part of the United Kingdom until we rebelled, actually opening fire when General Gage decided to seize weapons (we still do not like gun control to this day). Interestingly, we were very close to adopting the same system as the European countries, early in the history of our...
