The problem with option 2 is that you will need a swirl pot in your tank
which the efi will feed out of. (unless the 1600 tanks are really-really
well baffled) If not, when you go around a corner maybe with 1/4 a tank
or less (or possibly more) your car will starve of fuel and stop running
for a bit (not fun),just like a fuel cut...
