do you want to run a larger than stock capacity fuel cell or do you want to run a low gallon fuel cell for drag racing?

I've got a 16 gallon cell mounted in the hatch area already but it's unsafe as hell and the tracks wont let me run this way.I plan on doing a lot of dragging at the track.

There a couple of ways of doing this.
1) Get an aftermarket fuel cell to fit the stock location. (FuelSafe 1500.00 bucks)
2) Build a firewall between the tank & driver. (kind of hard with a big *ss hatch window.
3) Move the tank aft, and remove the stock cargo pit, or what ever it's called. (Cutting, welding, pretty involved)

Here's the idea that I'm executing. As you can see I already have the cut. Now it's a matter of mounting, & welding.
