when i went to the track this weekend i had to fill up to at least a 1/4 tank. i made my first 3 runs and it was falling on it's face bad in second gear b/c my tank was almost on empty. left the track and put about a 1/4 tank in it, it was good to go after that.

 

it mustve been perfect to do it
as in amount of fuel ,shifts and pull
thats all I can think of cause its never done that
before


kinda scary though when it starts cutting up at
5k+ and you have no clue what it is

 

mine does the same thing. when it gets close to a 1/4 tank of gas ill put some more in it. just the pickup getting uncovered as the fuel sloshes to the back of the tank. CHIP

 

thanks for the replys everyone

hey chip
in your sig I noticed INDY on the valve cover
do you know Kenny from Indy?

 

Mine runs a little lean too when it is below 1/4 tank. Does this mean fuel pump is going bad?

 

I wouldnt think so

 

If I have less than 1/4 tank, the fuel pressure will drop towards the end of the run, I also figured it was the gas running to the back of the tank.

 

Yeah, the Lightning boys have the problem a lot.
