fuel tank modification (baffling or otherwise) to prevent fuel starvation in high g corners?
How are you guys preventing fuel starvation when running race tires at autox or lapping events?
I have an EF that I'm prepping for SM/ DM, and possibly some lapping/ driving schools.
At under 1/2 tank, I'm already experiencing some questionable fuel delivery for high G corners/ sweepers.
Should I add a complimentary fuel pump/ sump/ baffling/ etc to prevent such?
Any help you guys could give me would certainly be appreciated.

I dont know how to baffle a gas tank, but i had the same problem first time i ran my car in SM. I would run almost no gas when i ran HS, but first time out in SM with 500 pounds GC konis,13x8 with kumbos the car fuel starved in like the 3rd turn. My suggection is just run a full tank as much as you can i havent had any problem since. Track day can be pain in the *** due to how much gas you use but doing this a cheap qucik fix instead of baffling.

The best way is TWO fuel cells.
One conventional feeding>>>.
One small, always full, so the pickup is always fully immersed.
This can be accompolished in many ways.

its common to have to stay over a half a tank of fuel to prevent starvation. but you can add a surge tank with an external fuel pump and you can stay pretty low and ensure never leaning out.
