I had a shop do the sump originally but did not know exactly how to set it up> then I had it re-done and now its much better> make sure they put the sump as low as possible and make sure they put in some baffling for when you turn> or slam on the brakes. Are you sure you want to sump the tank? It kinda sucks because you you really cant run the gas below half tank> I wisht that I hadnt of done it> but now that is done> I dont want to spend more money to re-do it> plus> I havent heard of another way to run the lines?
If you want some more info> let me know.
Otherwise> talk to the same guy who is selling the intake> and he can take care of it for you.
