I got a full aftermarket system but if I did it again I'd use my stock one with dual intank walbro's. will support up to 1000rwhp easy and reliable as hell, even DD street driven. Jsut make sure to keep minimum 1/4 tank. If you are stuck on aftermarket sumped tank I'd call up Nasty. Never seen one in person but they look great and many use them with great success on here. I beleive they install with stock straps but not 100% on that one. I know the one I have does but its not a sponsor on here.

if you put the twin pumps in a stock tank correctly you can run the fuel just as low as stock.

I run Nate's tank in my car also. Everything bolted up great and i'm very happy with the quality of his work. I've also installed them in a few customers cars and have never had a problem. Nate is a great guy to deal with.

Our tank fits in the factory location and hooks up just as stock. Also no need to keep 1/4 tank of fuel in our dual pump setup either.

What is the best gas tank to use?
That's a little like asking what the best gun is... it depends on what you need it for. What are your goals? Do you need a tank with a sump? Is noise an issue, or capacity? What about emissions?

The stock tank is hard to beat for most people. For those of us who require a sump, I hear good things about the "Nasty Performance" tank... or you could do like I did and build your own.

Again I have to say... what do you want to do with it?
