I would highly caution you against driving without a fire suit once you have a surge tank in the car. Aftermarket surge tanks are not built to OEM standards for resistance to the elements and even use. Even with race level maintenance, every race car driver will have a fire suit on, because the risk of fire is high enough to mandate it. When being driven hard, even the smallest failure in the system can lead to a catastrophic fire.
To put it in perspective, I would consider a fire suit to be higher priority over a HANS type device, or even air bags, with a surge tank. Imagine if someone hit you on the road, and a link just barely got kinked and springs a small drip. Things involving fuel and a lot of hot surfaces (and a car has a LOT of those), can get ugly very quickly.
