Fuel surge - Is foam sufficient or are baffles needed?

I am just about to have a fuel tank made and I would like some comment on whether foam acts as a sufficient anti-surge medium or if solid baffles are also needed. I am fitting the in-tank pump from the LS1/t56 donor into the new tank and I assume this will require some solid protection at least for the float arm. Can I just fill the rest of the space with petroleum resistant foam?

I would recommend a sumpbaffel for the pump. Foam won't do what you want. I tried it in my lt-1 car's fuel cell to help with fuel starvation at the pick up and it did nothing.

 

I ended up going the surge tank route.

 

This was with an external pump system.
