I am about as far from a baller as one could be. Plus I don't think I'd ever need something that crazy.

Yep pretty much, it's really big with road racers and people that auto cross. Its nice too for drag racers so you can have an empty tank and really worry as much about it all sloshing to the back and running out of fuel.

I was looking a them because it seems like it will solve the problem 2g awd guys have about not being able to get low base fuel pressure with a big pump and seems like I could probably piece together the whole thing for the same price if not cheaper than a nice fuel cell.

Keep the comments and ideas coming, there is always something I forget or don't think about.
