Hey guys I'm having a fuel problem with my powerworks kit. It happens when I take a hard & fast on ramp turn. The car bogs it's losing fuel, the fuel goes to one side and starves the motor. Does any one else have this problem?? and whats the fix.
thanks

I don't have this problem with my P/W; I recommend you attempt some hard ramp cornering with a full tank to rule out fuel slosh.
It sounds like fuel pressure issues; a fuel pressure gauge will help to track pressure variances. Perhaps a new fuel pump is in order, or perhaps a Boost-a Pump.

i'd get the recall fix first before going with other products. if anything when they drop the tank to get at the pump tell them to toss some of those foam bricks in then

take it somewhere else. your mods are irrelevant and they are just using it as an excuse not to do the work.
