I'm currently getting ready to upgrade my fuel system with 1/2 fuel line and electric fuel pump.
Since my fuel pickup need to be modified also, I was considering going with a fuel cell.
A 12 gal. fuel cell is about the same as a Granatelli pick up unit. My only other option is to do the fuel pick up mod like in the tech articles but that looks like it would be a pain.
No matter what I do, I'm going to have to drop the gas tank so that's why I thought of a fuel cell.
What would be best for a street/strip car, which seems to be slowly edging more and more towards a strip car.
I'm trying to walk that fine line between a street car and a strip car and it's not easy. The dark side is pulling me in!!

I would also like to see some pics of some of your fuel installations if possible.
