Fuel cell
Am I going to have to switch to an inline fuel pump when I put a fuel cell in my car or can I stick with my in tank?

get a swirl pot setup and the 2 external (high flow and low flow) pumps will take care of you. If youre doing a fuel cell then you need a bulkhead too. so running external pumps shouldnt be a big deal.

Or a better question is what kind of fuel cell should I get for drifting so I don't starve my fuel pump and blow my engine?

Check out ebay for used Nascar ATL cells. They are fairly inexpensive compared to a new ($$$) unit.
