In my mind there is only one way to go. I bought mine from The Parts Place in Chicago. It is a stock tank and has a baffle and integrated fuel pump. I can't remember who makes it but the exterior looks just like a stock tank. They are around $600-700. You don't want to run a fuel pump out of the tank. The life of those pumps is way less because of overheating and they are loud. I found the noise of the pump on the rail just plain annoying.
The only way I would run an external pump is if I couldn't get it to fit in the tank or I had a previous fuel system that way.

Sorry, didn't know the manufacturer of my tank. I haven't run mine at all on the street. I like the fact that the pump is in the tank and it looks just like a stock tank. Maybe I shouldn't have posted my opinion in this case.
However there is a reason that factory cars all have the fuel pumps installed in-tank. It is either to keep the pump cool and quiet. Or to increase shop time to replace the pump to increase revenue for shops.
If my tank sucks I will buy a ricks.
Thanks

Try looking at the tanks inc setup, their tank is supposed to be out late this month. I've seen a lot of good comments on the tanks inc conv. in stock tanks so I would think the complete unit by them would be as good or better! Price looked good too.
