Has anyone tried the Holley fuel pump mats. Ever since I replaced my fuel pump, I have been chasing some gremlins.

I've been considering picking one up for my Subaru that I use for auto-x and track day stuff, as it's prone to fuel starvation at higher tank levels than I'd like. They certainly sound like they're awesome, but it's hard to find any reviews - googling for "Holley Hydramat reviews" or "install" or whatever seems to bring up mostly vendor listings and very little user feedback.

Doing some more searching, found some positive results on assorted forums:
https://www.chevelles.com/forums/13-...-hydramat.html - "novaderrik" says they're popular with Lemons and Chumpcar (Champcar) racers. I just searched the Champcar forums (forum.champcar.org) and sure enough there are plenty of results; haven't read much yet.
https://www.spyderchat.com/forums/sh...anybody-tried/ - "gawdzilla" eventually (at the end of the thread) reports positive results after a road course test
http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/hol...dramat.504695/ - "bonecollector" reported positive results, but then someone else chimed in with a problem (and the thread died, so no resolution)
I specifically searched for the 16-111 version, as that's the part number that would fit on my Walbro pump.
I have yet to find any negative reports, other than the one at the end of that last thread I linked. Since that person never updated or explained what the issue was, it could very well have been install error.
I didn't know that they had mats for different fuel pumps. I probably need to reset how my pump sets at the base of the hangar.
I wish a company like aeromotive would have a product that would fit in these tanks.
Yeah, there's a bunch of different configurations - https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...mat/hydramats/. Most of them have an AN or NPT fitting to feed the pump, but there's one (the 16-111) which has the "standard" 11mm connector to snap onto the inlet of a Walbro in-tank pump. (I think the other aftermarket pumps use that same type of connection.) For my Subaru, that would be the easiest way to go, since I could just replace the little inlet filter that's on the pump now with the Hydramat. If I was using an external pump, or the tank configuration was such that the 16-111 wouldn't fit (which may be the case - I need to open up the tank and take a look), then one of the other Hydramats might make more sense.
