This may be too late if you were working on it at 4:30.... There are no baffles. The lowest part of the tank is the area below the sending unit -- opening at the top makes it easier to get at the bottom too. If you look at Haulin's pics, you can see where he installed his.

Just came in from finishing the skid plate and looked at your post. I drilled mine dead center (left to right) and abut 1" forward of the front edge of the fuel tank module opening. It looked to me to be the closest to the low spot in the tank, without interfering with the stock pickup. Hope I'm not too late with the info. If I wouldn't have been too busy sniffing paint I would have gotten back to ya sooner. I just put picks up (waiting for approval) of the skid plate if ya want to take a look. Also I will get you those pressure numbers as soon as it quits snowing so I can do a WOT road test.

Good luck with the project and let me know if I can help.
