EFI conversion fuel tanks I've seen discussion on here about the spectra tanks and I'm not sure I want to risk some of their questionable quality issues. So my question is has anyone tried the Tanks inc pump assy. like#pa-2 and have any feed back on how well it works. Does it have starvation issues like the spectra setup does? I'm putting an ls1 in my 71 Chevelle and trying to decide whether to try the Tanks Inc unit or bite the bullet and get a Ricks tank.

I bought a Spectra tank a while back before their price drop. After reading all the supply issues, I wish I would of just got a DSE narrowed EFI tank. 
Then later on down the road, if I got their minitubs....... I am good to go.

Rick's Tank Well I bought the Rick's tank last year for my 66 A-Body after doing some research on it I decided to go with the Rick's Tank and after further digging I about creamed myself when I found that they were in my home town only about 15 miles from my house, well I went over there and met the people and looked at all of the custom options and laid the money down and got a tank that looks like a piece of art, I would have set it on the fireplace mantle if the wife would have let me. I got lucky for once in my crappy hometown to have some high performance oriented shop just down the street, although MSD headquarters is also a rocks throw from the house, The guys at Ricks were first class all the way, I feel it was money very well spent do it once and forget about it, my time is worth too much to be running through the junk yards and piecing a set up that may or may not work.
Does Ricks give you options on fuel pumps they'll use for how much horsepower you have or is it one standard pump? I just hate to fork out that much money since money is tight right now on my build but would be well worth it if it supports the horsepower I might be throwin at it.

I'm not sure if there is optional pumps, I just looked at Jegs on line catalog and it showed it was good to 450hp, 51psi and 41 gph. Does anyone know if there is a better (cheaper) place to buy than Jegs or Summit?

Rick's Tank's Yes they have different pump options and when I was there they had the pumps in stock, they had basically stock A/C Delco pumps all the way up to Aeromotive pumps for !000+ horsepower applications, I know they sell their tanks through Jeg's for sure but google their site and call them direct to talk to a real person and get the various options available. I had the luxury of being in the same town as them to watch my tank being built and I was able to customize it to my specs.
