Ok I got a fg wanna hit 400 has a gtx an everything else so it's doable I recently bought a second hand plazmaman single 044 serge tank kit but rather than fit that could I possibly just run the intank walbro or will I still need a serge set up for the 400 mark?

Surge with 400 will be safer than intank with 400. I'm sure people out there have done it....but that's like the people who run high power in BA engines and still say its 'safe'.

I just spoke to kpm earlier and guy said at the 400 mark, its time to move up to their twin tank setup. I think the base one I bought has a walbro (but that's perfect for me cause the max I would want is 370 with baby gtx).

Hopefully someone smarter comments soon :)

As in the engine wants more petrol than the pump can provide at WOT if it were to be pushed further. Surge is only really an issue when there isn't a lot of fuel in the tank

I'm currently running 400kw on e85 with that 480pump

An intank pump swop on the stock fuel intank module is NOT a same/same to a surge tank solution

Two separate items with different jobs

Think he just wants to know if he can just go intank walbro only rather than intank walbro + surge

FWIW I'm running only a single intank walbro 460 and making 438rwkw on e85

But I know it's at it's limits so I never get into it with under 1/3 tank

Also it's a ute, which I believe aren't as susceptible to surge due to different shaped fuel tank (higher)

Yer true I like the idea of keeping it more sleeperish wit no surge tank an I heard the walbro is nice an quiet plus id tell the my tuner get it to its maximum then back it off slightly when I do go to surge tanks I'll go all out surge twin pumps twin entry an stuff but can't really afford to build the zf up at the moment I'm hoping wit a good transcooler it lasts me awhile on 400
