Place as close as possible and as low as possible to the gas tank. You may have to make some sort of shield depending on where you put it and where you drive it.
 
That's one of the issues imI dealing with this will be a race car that thinks it can drive on the street lol
 
Like Leo said close and low and I'd definitely put it outside of the car not in the trunk where you'll get more noise. They work best and last longer when they don't have to pull and only push. As far as exactly where, I'd look at hose routing and put it in a place that works best without any 90's.

Definitely under the car. What if you get a leak?
 
Good thought about the leaks but with having the stock trunk floor and rear springs moved in it's a tough decision on trying to find a place for it
 
Yeah, there aren't a ton of obvious locations. Since it's a track car, why don't you just mount both of them to a home-made metal bracket back by the bumper...maybe using the bumper bracket bolts, or however it is I see the track cars attaching them. They might have to "pull" a little ways, but I think it'd be fine.
 
look around the shock crossmember.
 
a thought, should have the feed line from the tank at the bottom. gravity feed to the pump. the return line can come in on the top. just my thoughts
 
I know you said you have a pump but consider maybe selling one and getting a fuel cell module. That’s the route I’m heading.

Click to expand...

I'm building it more to be a street strip car but after talking to someone about my build they suggested it's going to be a race that thinks it can be driven on the street
 
I have my Carter strip pump mounted in the shock tunnel. Not exactly “low”, but I’ve never had a problem. I run it in conjunction with a Carter strip mechanical pump up front, and a bypass one-way valve between. I only switch on the electric pump right before I stage the car, and to prime the system before starting the car if it’s been sitting a while. Other than that, it works on the mechanical pump most of the time. Given that you’re working with a cell up in the trunk, the shock tunnel would seem to work well for you (??). I’ll try to post up some pictures of my setup.

Also, fabricate a bracket to mount the pump to, with a canister filter right in front of it. Then mount the bracket to the car with rubber isolators. The bracket will allow you to mount the pump with access to the supply and feed lines, without having to cobble it up to the actual location.

I mounted mine on the inside of the frame rail above the axle. I ran the fuel line (dash 10) from the cell thru the large grommet shown in your picture. From the pump to regulator (dash 8) then dash 6 to carb. Mount the regulator forward of the carb. Seems to work ok for me.:D
 
Spent a little money at jegs today and pick up this one that I can mount on the inside of the frame rail
