Fuel Cell Questions. I am doing a full build on my 2002 Camaro and since I will be dropping in an LS3 with some spray obviously I will need to upgrade the fuel system.
I planned on doing an aluminum fuel tank in factory location. I can't find anyone who is curently making a bolt in one. I have found a couple of threads where people were talking about having one made but all fizzled out.
Now I want to use the factory fill location and will be using an external fuel pump from it.
Are any of you guys running naything like this?

Ya maybe, I don't know the plastic just makes me nervous.
I am pretty new to this aspect of building and I am trying to design a safe system for a street/strip car.

Put a 10 gallon cell in the T top well and build a bulkhead in the back to seal the trunk off, , or if it's a track only car put a 3 gallon in the nose and just put the required bar around it.
Nasty perfomance used to make a tank, not sure if they still do, but that was a stock location mounted alum tank... that's you're only other option.
Stock tank with a racetronix pump, and a standalone cell (1 gallon) in the nose for the nitrous fuel system will work too if you're going that route.

Try Nate @ Nasty Performance, and maybe Larry @ Speed Inc for a custom tank that mounts in the stock location.
Or depending on your combo you could do a single intank with your stock tank and a standalone fuel system for nitrous.
Lot's of possibilities.

Nice, I figured either way I would probably have to do a small stand alone for the nitrous.
Good suggestions guys, I may try calling Nate.
John, is that the Nasty fuel tank in your pictures I take it?

I called Nate today.
He talked me into doing a twin 340lph pumps in the stock tank with one being dormant until the nitrous is ready to be sprayed and then I can flip on the secondary via a hobbs switch.
I will be running your front bumper support regardess Steve so if I end up going stand alone I will already have that location covered.
Thanks for all the help though guys, let me know if any of you have an opinion on this set up. It is the Stage 3 Street kit from Nasty Performance.

FWIW, I just pulled my stock '98 sumped steel tank because I want to run E85, anyway there's alot of rust in it, pieces of rust, looks like the welds for the sump got it started and it's pretty bad.
I was going to run the plastic stock tank but was afraid that the lines were too thin to carry the 30% more fuel the car needs on E85.
I opted for a Nasty Performance tank and a weldon pump that I mounted in the drivers side rear fender area, where the charcoal canister used to be.
