So i was talking with my dad about draw straws today for my 24 valve and he said he had heard about replacing the whole entire canister with one from a jeep liberty?? Anybody heard of this? Apperantly they are good to around 500 horse and already have a 3/8 in straw in them.

The DSV is awesome, IMO. I have had it in my truck for a couple years now, and have had zero problems. I can run the tank damn dear dry, and still have lots of fuel available. If I ever had a fuel sender issues, I'll buy the Liberty unit that's modified. It works on 98.5 to 08, so a DSV isn't your only option. I think the DSV is your best option though.
Modified liberty fuel module

It's a good unit. Even if you do plan on going to 500 or more, it will supply the fuel just fine.

Even if you go more you can replace it with a 1/2 inch straw and be fine
