Default Fuel setups?

For those of you who have built street/strip cars any advice on which route you took? or would take if you did it over?

Currently im looking at 3 options

Fuel Cell
Sumped 98 Tank
Intake setup

Intake has me worried about running out of pump long term on E85 and having to redo everything.

Anything I build that makes good power will either get a cell or sumped tank with an external pump.

For some reason I've just gotten away from the whole intank pump game.

My opinion is worth little, I don't build tons of cars......like a shop or anything.

What sump did you use?

I'm leaning towards sumping my 98 tank or just getting the nasty tank.

I just fabricated a sump and welded it to the 98 tank.

Dual intank 255s ( I already had them), and sumped the plastic tank and using a MF 4303. The MF 4303 comes on with 4lbs of boost. I have finally maxed the pumps out on 26lbs making over 1350rwhp based on fuel consumption calculations.

The system runs -8 out of the factory hat, and Ys together with the 4303 by the rear-end and -10 feed and return.
