If you are really losing fuel pressure due to cornering forces, you are going to need more than a surge pump once you run the slicks. You are going to need a fuel surge tank along with pump(s) in the surge tank along with lift pump(s) in the fuel tank itself. http://www.radiumauto.com/MPFST-Mult...Tank-P271.aspx
Also if you are getting fuel starvation from cornering it may be time to start considering something to prevent oil starvation.

There is a sub-tank built into the fuel tank from the factory specifically to prevent fuel starvation when the fuel level is low.
If you are seeing fuel starvation, you should also be seeing DTCs for fuel pressure. If you are not seeing DTCs, the source of the issue probably isn't the low pressure fuel pump. If nothing else, inspect the fuel filter after confirming a fuel pressure drop before doing anything else. There are multiple fuel pressure monitors reporting to the ECM, so you should be able to data log and see if fuel pressure is the root cause.
The thing you really don't want it to be is oil pressure. You should data log that as well. These engines were designed with track use in mind, so there are a number of overbuilt systems unlike a wide range of alternatives from other manufacturers.

Not trying to hijack, but could you elaborate on what oil control measures the engine has?
Beautiful track build. You have all of the proper upgrades at all the right places.
How has the Castrol SRF brake fluid been for you on the track? I'm making the switch from ATE Type 200 to Castrol SRF next week as I managed to boil the ATE brake fluid on a road course last weekend (feeling the brake pedal drop to the floor at the end of a 110mph stop was not very pleasant. ). Besides the initial costs, I hear nothing but positive reviews on the Castrol SRF from those that use it on the track.

I cant quantify the diffrence of castrol from motul rbf 600. I used the motul in my first track days and it boils. So the second track day i replace it with castrol srf but i have already the titanium brake pad shims.
My son with the CTR said its better than motul.
A new revised pulley was made? Did you get the silicone hoses as well?
Yes, thats a stronger pulley maybe if decide to get to stage 2 power upgrades, but for now im happy with the 530whp.
My oem radiator hoses still new so no to silicone hoses at tbis time. Maybe i will change my thermostat.
I maximize also the tramission cooler to the biggest size, 35 rows instead of 25 .
