But I still would not use an electric fp on a street/strip car. If a fuel line started to leak and a fire started under the hood, kiss your car good buy. Maybe someone here can convince me that the modern electric fp is just as safe as the mechanical one ?

I really don't see the difference between running an electric or mechanical fuel pump in this regard. With either, you'll have to cut the fuel supply by shutting off the engine or cutting power to the electric pump after you detect a fire.

My dad, my brother, and I have all been running electric pumps on our street/strip cars for the last couple decades with no incidents.
