NRG gas tank looks ok, i’m sure would work better than a sumped tank, but doesn’t look like it holds much for the street. > [@Why can't NYS troopers do this?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/why-cant-nys-troopers-do-this/41548/40): > > I would push like a 255 feeding an 044, but I fear jason will be going e85 someday, howevr maybe he can clear that up/or decide it’s only going to be as strong as the 044 can be. the 044 is a suction feed pump, having the 255 before it would probably hinder it more than it would help it. > [@Not new, just never made one](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/not-new-just-never-made-one/41617/9): > > FIXED :grouphug: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turbob16s-turbo-del-sol/203971)._
