DING DING DING, someone took high school economics.

What I am saying is what people are willing to pay is dependent on what the actual solution is and not what it is solving.

We really need details on what this is. Otherwise, it's just vaporware.

A real surge tank solution typically starts at about $1k, so if you have a real solution for less, I'm all ears (as are hundreds of others)

In for updates. I want info/pics/ect, details man details.

If you can get a full return system for $1500 to solve a problem that something else can take care of for $500, well, you'd probably be smart to go for the $500 solution. It just depends. I do see, however, that people are having issues. I'll see what I can do.

Sort of correct. Just because a cheaper solution exists, doesn't necessarily mean it's the better choice. If the collection or parts, materials, and labor required to manufacture a kit is actually (realistically) worth selling for $700, then it makes sense. If you think your idea will simply sell for that much because other products are much more expensive, then someone else is going to copycat it and actually make money selling them. In other words, if you have $25 worth of materials, one hour to assemble it all, and $5 of packaging, people are going to see right through it. If the product itself is worth the price (regardless of what it does or how it does it) then of course it'll sell.

I personally don't need this yet, but I'm interested. I think we all want to see more, not just "if I make a thing to fix this problem will you pay $700 for it"? without actually knowing what the thing is.

I would be interested. But like other said depending of what you are up too and how it is going to be made!

But before coming with a pricing, what did you factor in? Cost of parts + labor + R&D?? Also since we have both injectors system, how are you going to work with that?

When you are asking for a pricing when you have a product, it show me 2 things. You don't believe in your product, because you would already know the price your parts will be worth and not how much we are going to be willing to pay.

And that you have only a small idea in your head and you want to see if there is money to be made of that. Usually it works the other way around, you make the part, because you know there is an issue and from there you retail the according price of what you think it worth comparing it to the other solution!

FWIW I am currently looking for a more conventinal solution to the same ptoblem.

Im going for a regular sump tank/pump/etc.

I just stick a lift pump in the saddle tank instead of relying on the siphon tube which is inadequate at filling the oem surge tank. We've done this for years and it solves the fuel starvation issue at all but the lowest fuel levels.

Now since working with these pump lids and having to seal the hole for wiring totally sucks, I would pay $399. Its about 2 hours labor, the left over oem pump, and some basic wiring ($250). Safety would be my biggest concern with having say a 1-2 liter Molotov cocktail in the engine bay

Thanks for the feedback. It could be stuck in the trunk or anywhere else there is space. Placing it in the engine compartment doesn't really bother me since there is a firewall. Technically people in the back are sitting ON the fuel. I will have to build and test to see how well it works.

very interested!

What happened with this project?

[FRSKEV]

Ever think about something like the Holley HydraMat??
