Default Some help guys? Fuel system questions/pics!

I'm torn on which way to go with my fuel system? Should i go with dual pumps inside the stock sending unit and tank or go with something like a 20 gallon fuel cell and a A1000 with controller (which i already have). Any pics of bed or frame mounted fuel cells would be great! I will be running a -8 feed with -6 return either way. The first few pics are of the sending unit i've already started to modify and you know what the others are. Thanks in advance guys!

thinking about one of these for the fuel cell:
Summit Racing SUM-293220 - Summit Racing® Aluminum Fuel Cells - Overview - SummitRacing.com

And this for the water to air reservoir, if its not to big?
Summit Racing SUM-293204 - Summit Racing® Aluminum Fuel Cells - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Are you running a pump gas setup or E85? Personally, I would look into running two Aeromotive 340's in-tank with one on a hobbs switch.

Running pump gas on the street for now and some 104 when i go to the track. I want to go back to E85... just not right now, i would have to step up to 80lb injectors at least im guessing? I was thinking if i don't do the A1000 with a cell, i'll run one of the new walbro 400's and put in a aero 340 on a boost hobs switch?

I stole the 22 gallon fuel cell outta my 70 shortbed and swapped it into my 01 GMC. Using full A1000 setup (filters, regulator, pump) with -8 feed and -6 return. I couldn't be happier with the performance of it so far

My 70 tank was made by a guy named Mark Fowler on the 67-72 Chevy board, but there are a couple of listed cells for our trucks here on perf trucks. Most of the cells for our trucks either seem to be the bed mounted Jazz style or Custom using the stock bucket setup, which I don't like.
