What a rollercoaster, man.

Spent the night planning/pricing an EFI conversion. I've heard from a few reliable sources now that my current carb just isn't going to behave well while cornering hard. It's just not meant for something like autocross. The biggest issue I face is fuel supply. I went with a stock mechanical fuel pump to keep things simple and quiet but that barely feeds a standard carburetor. I was looking at a holley pump and regulator/filter combo but then I came across this:



It's basically like having a miniature gas tank with a sump pump in your engine bay. No floats or anything so it won't have any issues handling some g-forces. The real selling point is that it hooks up to my stock setup. Basically my mechanical pump keeps the tank filled and the internal pump feeds the EFI. Just have to run a return line back to the unit and then another one to my fuel cell. Between this and a Holley Sniper I could probably swap everything over in an afternoon. It's definitely real tempting now. Still looking at close to $1500 all said and done though. Good thing tax time is upon us and the gf is willingly to pitch to get it done before autocross starts back up. One problem at a time though, just glad this is as easy as I was hoping it could be.
