I could avoid it by short shifting into 5th and not winding out 4th gear above 6k rpms up the hill which killed my top speed and lap times. After topping off the tank with E85 it didn't starve again until 3/4 tank.


Since I added aero and switched to ZII star specs, I also start fuel starving below 3/4 of a tank. I switched back to 93 for the last track day as I was no longer able to complete a full session without starving happening. A buddy owns an evo shop that does a lot of surge tanks and is trying to convince me to put one on the car.
