I asked this in the Fuel section and got no answer. I know at least the cell, pump, regulator, lines, and fittings. I am looking for parts recommendations as well as a ballpark cost.

If you're switching to a fuel cell.. why the hell would you be using a stock pump? ANd you will need an inline.. not an intank

Ok then I don't know much about the cells I only said use the stock pump because I thought that was the only kind that worked.
Well then the question is what is needed to convert to a fuel cell.
what kind of pump works with the stock fuel injection?
will I need to run a new fuel line?
I have installed one on a dragster before with a inline pump. I just didn't know an inline work work with the ls1 fuel system. I don't know alot about how that part works and the dragster I did, I didn't know how to do it I just did what the guy told me to do because he was parylized and needed someone to install it for him so I helped him out but he told me what to do as I did it. but it seemed to be a pretty simple thing to do after doing it as far as the dragster goes.

I checked them out today. Looks like a nice set up but I will have to give them a call I don't want to use the stock location and it looks like that is what it is set up for. also wanted a smaller tank than 15 gallons.
