If I were gonna race my car, I would have gone Vaporworks all day long, but mine is just a cruiser that will dodge cones a few times a year. I won't buy something that I don't need, just because it's cool and really expensive.
No doubt hands down the Vaporworks stuff is the top of the line, and is perfect for the guy racing his ride in low fuel conditions.

It comes down to budget and intended use

If considering a Tanks Inc unit, give Matt or Kim a call at Matts Classic Bowties, I inquired about the Tanks, and they started to carry it, to offer another option to people building cars

you can always upgrade to the larger Walbro 400 pump too when ordering the kit (compared to the 255 pump, approx $60 difference)

I had a standard Ricks tank with a Walbro 255.

It embarrassed me a few times waiting for lights on uphill slopes

I plan to go with Tanks Inc's newer baffled design with twin pumps in my '72 Chevelle. Heard nothing but good things about it and it seems reasonable.

Not sure if they make one for your Chevelle but I plan to go with Aeromotive tank and pump through Summit for about $750. No personal experience with it but have heard good things.

So said, so done. Went with the Tanks Inc, with the walbro 400lph from Matts Classic Bowties. Should be enough to feed an S475 turbo, on pump gas and decent cornering on C5 Z06 wheels.

PICS PICS PICS!!!

I need to see this setup! Post up some pics once you get far enough along, this should be a cool build to follow!

Thanks again for the order, we appreciate the biz.

The tanks inc kit doesn't have a true baffle, its a 7x9" tray at the bottom of the tank, while its better than a stock tank it's not meant to run with low fuel on the track.

The Vaporworx, obviously, will run until its dry. You just need to choose what's best for you.

Based on price, I carry only these two, they fit most budgets and work for simple FI swaps and Auto-X / Road course.... It just depends on how much fuel you need and how low you NEED to run your level at.
