Default Sumped tank question.

I am getting my gas tank sumped and I drilled out the five 2 1/2 holes under the sump. I just picked the tank up from my welder and he cut the whole tank under the sump out. So now its all open under the sump. I dont think it will be baffled and I was wondering if the tank is junk or if people run there sump this way. Thank you for your input

When you buy after market fuel cells from places like Jazz and so on, they just have open molded in sumps in a tank. So it seems to me like this would be fine esp. if you keep fuel levels high enough.

works better with the baffled holes when you excellerate hard or stop short the way it is now you will prob starve the pump (my personal experience) but if you buy some fuel cell foam and stick it in their it will help alot

the car will be driven on the road alot. not just a drag car. how much will it effect the fuel on turns and stuff? how does the foam work? how do you keep it in the sump? thank you for your advice
