Fuel Cell Question
Among you racers, when installing a fuel cell on a L-98 with essentially stock TPI, does one need to transplant the in-tank pump from the gas tank into the fuel cell, in order to get correct pressure and flow to the main fuel pump?

Although I haven't done this conversion - there's only one fuel pump, and it's in the tank. So you would either need to put in an in-line pump (with proper plumbing for adequate pickup) or transplant a sender unit with in-tank pump that will fit into whatever fuel cell you're using.
I would imagine that the fuel cell manufacturers would have a variety of in-tank pumps and sending units for GM cars (that would have the correct ohms for fuel guages, etc).
