Default trunk floor modification?

can I raise the trunk floor so I can put a bigger gas tank in the car? the stock gas tank is 21 gallons I want at least 30.

I'm sure you could but it'd probably look pretty odd from the inside.. Not to mention you'd need new carpet. Why 30 gallons?

that would be a bunch of work. and you wouldn't want to raise the trunk floor since the gas tank is above the rear end. you would want to go towards the back of the vehicle. basically you would have no trunk at all. So maybe cut out the trunk completely and put a fuel cell there. still sounds stupid.

meh, if there is a way to get a higher mpg out of the LS3 I'll do that instead of a bigger gas tank.
