In OK, we typically have a month of so temps around or below freezing in the morning.
I ran a pc680 on a 2.0L I4 for years. Note that I live in Nova Scotia, it's not Siberia, but it does get cold. I never had an issue, even leaving my car for a month while I went to sea. The only caveat to that, is I didn't run it with conventional oil, always synthetic, but I doubt you'd be running dino oil so that likely doesn't make a difference.

Surge tanks are a well proven solution to fuel starvation issues. We've run them on lots of cars before. They're a great idea if your rule set allows it.

About rule set... Can anybody chime in about NASA and SCCA rules ?
Does this count as a fuel cell ? any points need to be taken for this modification ?

Surge tank shouldn't be classified as a fuel cell. Totally different purposes and the factory tank is retained. But it is up to the local folks who make these calls to address this issue, and certainly check with whichever organization the car is run.

Been holding off on a LW battery. This gives me a good reason to justify it haha.

I ran one for a while when I had an ESC on my car. Started right up even in near 0F temps.

Yup, sure are soon. We are adding some additional features currently, should have a complete parts list later this week, and hopefully pricing next week!

It will be over $1000 from the rough number crunching we're doing now. But understand just the parts involved are quite expensive, including the tank and pump(s)...then the fittings and more.

As long as it includes everything for an easy bolt on set up, that's fine by me.
