I don't think a fuel pump is the problem on the car. This is a direct injection car so the pump is kicking out IMMENSE pressure. I think just larger injectors would solve the problem and we are already working on it

Remember with direct injection its not spraying fuel into the intake stream and being pulled into the engine by the operation of the valves. This is spraying into the combustion chamber on the compression stroke. The injector/pump has to fight a ridiculous amount of pressure to be able to spray into that environment...I doubt fuel pressure is the problem....I think with increased HP its volume that is. Again though, we are on the case as we speak

I don't really have much in the way of pictures but I will see what I can do. We have never really been much on pre production pics as the final design could vary greatly from what I could show you now...but I don't think there is much harm in it.
