I am running a 1380 ford crossflow in a trackday seven. All the usual p+p head, l+b, hot cam etc using a webber 32dgv downdraft. At trackdays I am getting bad fuel starvation coming out of right hand corners.
I am about to fit a facet fuel pump and have already raised the float heights.

Any ideas chaps?

Cheers for the comments guys. Unfortunately not quite that easy as the tank is foam filled and has central pickup.

Have now fitted high pressure pump and raised the float level all to no avail. The problem only occurs when I get to full throttle, in a staight line it is fine. Pain eh, any ideas?

Thanks for all the posts,I think I have it sorted.

It was a failed non return valve in the accellerator pump and a loose fitted float pivot letting it rub on the side of the float chamber.

Need another trackday now!
