Default Fox In-tank pump vs A1000 for LQ4 turbo

I bought my car with a intank 255 pump and it already has braided lines from the tank to engine bay. I have and older A1000 pump with filters, i was going to sump the tank and put that on but should i look into some intank pumps instead? Its a 95% street car and aiming for 1000HP with meth. What do you think?

Id sump it and run a big external for that power level. from my research its too much work to try and make twin intanks fit.

From what ive seen the bucket in the tank is too small so youd have to cut open the tank modify it then weld it back up.i thought of using a sump but mounting two intanks in the sump so its quiet.a member on here did something similar with a fuel cell

I found a bit of a different setup check out this, instead of running a sump setup
