What features does the sending unit offer ?
The tank needs to go down anyway for the mini sump anyway, adding a venting Hole in the filler neck would be the easy part..
I run a autometer fuel level float to the autometer fuel gauge not the stock one in the dash.

Like I said, I'm trying to stay away from the street racing thing. There is no such thing as a "closed piece of road" that you can control access to preventing accidental animals, hikers, bicyclists, etc from getting there - and unless you personally own it, you're taking chances with other peoples property and lives. I'll stop there though there is a LOT more that could be said with no possible excuse. Maybe I'm a little sensitive about it because I live in a rural area, and there are all kinds of nitwits who think that because it's the "country" they can drive however they want with a total disregard for other people. Nothing like being on a tractor along a quiet road and having some dbag out of control come flying up, fishtailing trying to slow down and honking their horn because they think YOU are creating the unsafe situation. And it's those dbags that make it more difficult for the rest of us. Thank them for more and more laws making our hobby more difficult than it already is. Nuff said about that.
Anyway, the sending unit has better pickups, is high quality machined billet, can have -AN fittings, provide your volumes and vents, etc. If you're not running FI, sumping is simply not necessary assuming the remainder of your fuel system is properly setup. I have seen where people making their own sump ended up causing them problems because they didn't anticipate where the fuel would actually be in different scenarios. It's tougher for a car in the twisties than a drag car.
