Gosh, please re-read my post. I did not say that. Here's what I said:

Again,
IF you are only running a 700rwhp turbo, you'll most definitely be in the 10s at the drag strip. Most drag strip regulations are totally fine with running the oem fuel tank at those speeds. Also, most Mkiv Supra Turbo modders like to keep their cars as streetable as possible. Having a 10 second
completely streetable street car is a 'badge of honor' for many Supra owners. Consider this: getting (for example) a 'rustang' into the 10s may be cheap, but it's pretty much useless for getting your son/daughter to daycare if you mod it that heavily. In other words, why get rid of the oem 17 gallon fuel tank if you don't have to?
On the other hand, I'd never argue against safety. Although at 10 seconds I believe your oem fuel tank is sufficiently safe, go ahead and put that fuel cell into it, since you really never can be 'safe enough':

...and weld a 12-point roll cage in there, a Hans device, and dual parachutes too, while you're at it.

I wish you had told me this sooner. It's tough for me to provide accurate advice when the goal is unclear.

Awesome - do you have any pictures that you can post? I'm also very interested in why you're doing this...not the least of which reason is that there are so many good, relatively affordable choices out there for one-piece solid steel flywheels and two-piece billet+steel flywheels.
I'm curious: Will your flywheel be able to support multiple clutch disks? You'll never be able to reliably&repeatedly hold 1000rwhp with a single disk clutch, no matter what it's made of.

The least expensive way to build a 1000rwhp fuel system (6spd) is to take maximal advantage of the oem fuel line and the oem fuel return line. If you independently analyze the question: "what is better, single or dual fuel lines", you miss the whole point of doing as much as possible with what is already there, and building a system that will meet your needs while being cost-effective. ALL of the off-the-shelf 100%-complete fuel systems have already considered this in their designs. Here's an example:
