All,

After the longest birthing process ever, (don't ask) I have my car 
back.  Shane (AIM tuning) has outdone himself and the car is both a 
work of art and a real power monster.  Among the very few remaining 
bugs is this:  Fuel starvation on extended hard left-hand 
turns.  I've only experienced it on the track on race rubber, but it 
is a serious problem there.  (It sucks to be reeling in a whale-tail 
Porsche only to have to to coast through the big left-hand turns.)

Details:
1) It sometimes cuts briefly even with as much as 2/3 of a tank.  By 
the time I'm down to 1/4 tank, it is serious enough that I am a 
hazard to myself and others and exit the track.
2) Has never happened around town on street tires even at low fuel levels.
3) The fuel tank has a Walbro pump with stock fuel sock.  If it is 
aligned correctly, I'm confident it is all the way to the bottom; the 
pickup was maybe even under a tiny bit of compression against the 
bottom as the top was reattached to the tank.

Questions:
1) Anybody else experienced this?
2) Which direction should the fuel pick-up sock be pointing when 
properly installed?  From the pump toward the driver side or from the 
pump toward the PAX side?
3) It would be my very last choice for a solution, but can anybody 
provide a link to a workable "fuel pot" setup?

Thanks....

Martin
