Best retrofit tank and fuel pump
I have been looking at a tank and fuel pump for my 68 Chevelle. It seems like Holley, Aeromotive are using the Tanks Inc tanks. But my question is which is the best as far as reliability and performance. Holley Sniper tanks are the cheapest at around $500 with a 255 pump. Aeromotive is more with a 340 pump at around $750. And Tanks Inc

Someone is selling a Rick's tank over on pro-touring for a bit under a grand I think. If the budget is there that's the route I'd take.
The tank is an empty metal box so reliability is dependent on the pump, which in most cases is something that can be easily changed so it comes down to whether you want to put the pieces and parts together or let someone else. After ditching the spectre tank I went with the Aeromotive tank and have no regrets. Just give the pump its own dedicated power supply and most any pump should work. Depends on your application of course.

I want a bolt in factory tank. And with that it seems all three that I mentioned are using the same tank and its powered coated. The difference being the pumps which are a Aeromotive 340lph vs a Walbro 255 pump.
I've had good luck with Aeromotive in the past, but can't argue with the Walbro pump and the $250 or so less it costs.
My motor will be around 550 hp (6.0 AFR 205 heads,cam,headers) So that's a factor as well in the pump. Seems like I may be pushing the 255 pump from what I have gathered.
