sorry to sound stupid, but its not just the fuel moving to the other side of the tank is it? when mine is under half a tank (which a full tank for me is only 40 litres :S ) it will die coming out of hard corners and then surely enough once im going straight again itll come roaring back to life..

I am not even sure if this is the problem its just what i am assuming is wrong with mine.

its a factory setting holden put in the ECU to stop people hooning, try getting a cop chip they dont have the setting and ur car will gain 20kw

Or possibly to stop people panicking and accelerating while they're sliding towards that tree. Not sure how valid that is, there's no such thing as cop chips but possibly PM delcowizzid on here and see if there is such a thing that needs disabling, whether there is or not get a tune from him you're car will pull a lot harder.

or even 2 cop chips, will give an extra 40kw at the meats.

Just put them side by side and cover what ever you can see in solder :p
