I have my fuel line like that. With an exhaust cooler in the middle.

The first time it died at the end of the pitlane. He overfilled my tank and some fuel spilled.
The second time I could see it clear because there was so much smoke in the tank. But this time he didn't spill any fuel. I was a little angry from the first and I WOT'ed very aggressive after the refuel. The engine didn't rev when it did that. It died immediately.

Run a few tanks and it should smooth out. If not, re-shim and run a tank then check again.

Thanks a lot. Also... the directions didn't say to add grease to the Ring / Pinion... Every other car I have built says to do this .. So i went ahead and added the grease..Thats ok correct?

Thanks for the reply, that is what I thought. I found it weird it didn't mention it though. (even though it should be a no brainer)

Before you do that loosen the 4 screws that hold together the diff case. It might be that you over tightened them
