20 seconds?
WAY too little to run an autocross, and a laugher to run a road course.
What's the purpose of the vehicle?

I originally envisioned having the tank raised above the truck floor about 4" but that wouldnt of allowed me to retain my factory fill location and not have the trunk hinge hit the hose so it now looks like this from the rear. The fill valve is a 45 degree RCI with a flapper.
Mopar to the bone!!!

Just another idea (which is popular for retrofits) would be to use a regular carb style low pressure pump to feed a surge tank that feeds the high pressure efi pump. Would work well for a autocross track car too. Down side is that its a bit more complex and you are running 2 pumps. A new sumped tank is better....but more expensive.
I'm working on my efi conversion again, LS1 pcm controlling efi and coil on plug ignition on a BB 440 mopar. I using a Bosch 044 inline pump from a sumped aluminum Hot Rod garage aluminum tank.

Anyone use the Aeromotive Phantom Fuel system in a stock tank? It looks interesting.

Not much cheaper than a new tank built for FI.
How much is a Rock Valley (or other custom) tank? Looking a bit online at some other forums says $1000+, so I'm curious what a Mopar one is worth to be close to the price of that $550 Aeromotive kit..
Mine was 800 including pump.

I am probably going to go this route myself...seems like a cheap and easy way of doing it...

This is how Steve Strope mounted the in-tank pump on the Dust'Ya Duster.
http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/91658_1971_plymouth_duster/
"To feed the FAST EFI unit, Strope mated a ’90 Corvette in-tank electric fuel pump to the stock Duster sending unit. Operating pressure is 42 psi."
and they will never tell you if it did - but i bet it had starvation issues. The lack of baffles like the rock valley setup will cause the efi to fall flat on it's face if you expose the pickup and allow it to suck air.
It's the number one issue with retro fitting a conventional tank.
If the tank is below 1.4 tank and you stab it, corner hard or brake hard you have the chance to momentarily expose the pickup - it will kill the engine instantly - WHY? because the EFI works on pressure - the carb it has replaced had a fuel bowl, or two that would act as a resivor that will makeup for these momentary issues. With EFI you dont have that luxury
