Default Sumping a plastic tank with a bulkhead fitting???

I have been throwing the idea around about doing this instead of going the twin pump route. What are the pros and cons of doing this style of fuel system? I am looking to push a little over 700rwhp (FI). What pump would I need? Does anybody make a kit or would I have to piece this together myself? Any input would be great..
Thanks! Cody

I highly rec going the dual pump route. We make a few complete kits to fit your needs. Bulkhead in these tanks is not a good idea you are pulling fuel from the flat bottom of the tank that could slosh in turns and acceleration or even braking...not to mention the tend to crack from the weight of the fitting and hose.

Oh ok thats what I was kind of thinking. What are the ways you can hook up the Hobb's switch on the double pumper kit? On a toggle? Or?
