Accu-sump Where are you guys placing / running your accu-sump set ups for road racing on your 4th Firebirds? Thinking running it down in the front left fender where the cruise control is. Nice and close and easy plumbing. I seen one pic on the forum, but their got to be more than one picture out there.

Well I don't road race and don't have actual impact concerns for the most part, but on my street & AX car, mine is behind the radiator and in front of the serpentine belt, crosswise. I have an electric valve, and FWIW it requires a lot of maintenance IMO. I've had this for 19 years and I've replaced the valve 3x in that time, seems like they start to fail after a while, IDK if that's age or amount of use (or not use).

Yes, it's street car, when you say inside, do mean inside the frame rails or inside the interior (I have full interior, and still do cross county trips to as many good roads as possible - tail of the dragon, needles 16a, pikes peak, etc) - the road racing is High speed autocross with Midwest council - It's basically a drag race of one lap of a given track - Blawkhawk, road america, gingerman, milwaukee mile, etc. It's a safe way to race a street on track and if you spin out your not too worried about hurting the car to bad.
