I prefer a tighter race car, not one that is loose and swishing around, so I am going to try to run the SRF tigher, but to allow some amount of leaning. I just don't want it swimming around on me. I think I was running Hal's setup too at my last race...

Just an update here for future reference, I was talking to enterprises about a few other items and it turns out that there is not a legal aftermarket fuel pump. So my $50 napa pump, which had the same numbers at what was already on my SRF, was in fact not legal and the pump my car was running since I purchased it was not legal either!

The right pump is a Kinsler pump through enterprises - I one coming from my local friendly CSR.

That will be a requirement for the Gen 3 as well. Bob Breton - SRF 51 - San Francisco Region

I agree - but i "cheaped out". I figure I can't get my hands on a Gen3 kit for at least 12-16 months at current build rates. And that's fine, I have more than enough to learn on my 1.9L and I'm sure in another 12-16 months....I'll be replacing aluminum and I'll get that FuelCell back out
