There may be a better place to post this but I figure this is where the most cable drive fuel pump cars are. I think I'm making the switch to cable driven fuel pump and I was wondering if anyone has sumped there f body tank to feed the pump. Or put a bulkhead in or something?

Have you thought about using the new Aeromotive brushless 5gpm electric pump? They claim 2600fwhp on gas. That means approx 1820fwhp/1700ish rwhp on e85. https://www.aeromotiveinc.com/brushless/

Never did figure why with all of the Camaro's (1998-2002) that modify the stock fuel system why an aftermarket company that mfg tens of thousands of stamped metal gas tanks didn't modify the 1998 metal tank with a provision so the bottom half of the tank is sumped and still fit the 1999-2002 model years. Sure would be cheaper than custom built aluminum tanks and $1200 + dual in tank systems.

It's fine to just say you don't know personally. If you do, post up the results. I understand what you're saying, but a ton of people have used multiple staged pumps for a very long time without issue. A large single pump can fail just as easily as anything else with the same result so although I understand what you're saying, I do not really agree. Everything takes maintenance and keeping a close eye on.

To be fair, the large single pump failing is a lot safer than one of the three Walbro's failing.
Cutting off the whole fuel system is better for the motor than part of it.

My plastic tank has a -12 bulkhead fitting in it going to an aeromotive 11182 pump that comes on with boost, and dual in-tank DW400s that run the majority of the time. I am making 1550rwhp currently without issues. I don't have room for a cable drive setup the way my turbo kit is laid out.
Holley is setup with fuel pressure safeties so even if a pump fails its going to start to shut the boost down/car so nothing gets hurt.
The limit of three 450s is usually 1200-1300rwhp depending on the base pressure.

Most guys topping them out at 1200 typically have fueling issues. Pressure sensors in the merge fittings for 3 pumps often show pressures of ~90 PSI, meaning the flow from the 3 pumps is greatly reduced.
Evidence should be abundantly clear when some are making 700-750 on a single pump, but are running out on 3 pumps at 1200.

You're not going to find a streetable single pump option unless you do cable driven.
Or just go the route of the 5 gpm brushless and sump your tank run that in boost and run a single or dual intake walbro 525.

I was good till 28psi, I made 1462 to the tire at 25psi so 28 was probably low 1500s. After that pressure starts dropping off every pass. The Holley does compensate and I've even had a pump burn out before and the cl comp saved my motor. I'm on borrowed time before I ruin a very nice motor over not having an adequate fuel supply
