What if you made a hole in the bottom of the surge tank (rendering it useless) and ran a Y fitting off the pump with a 3/8 hose going to both sides of the saddle with a HydraMat on each end?
You'd need a check valve system that closes the Y on either side if/when it starves. This entire assembly would be flopping around inside the tank; it's a VERY tight space to work in.

Im currently using a dual hydramat system in my car and it's not quite getting me the results I want. Two HUGE mats likely will still starve from not enough submersion. A triple Y system with 4 mats (one on each side of the saddle, and one on each end), may do the trick.

Unfortunately I only have so much time to work on my own projects
