    Damn...:(

    split the line before the regulator and run another electric? How much flow would the nitrous need in gph? Wire it up so it is only one when I enable the nitrous system?

    Going to be a lot of new tubes and wires under my hood :rolleyes:

    I actually use a second pickup out of the tank, But anything would be better than running out of fuel with 150 shot of spray spraying. A lot of people has gotten by with splitting the lines, But i have seen a lot of them get bit to. What would be cheaper, A extra pump and line or a piston? You be the judge. N20 is fun (not as fun as forced induction) But when it bites it bites hard.

    I called Holley yesterday, and he said with my engine combo, that single pump would be fine, just kick it up to 6.5 or 7 psi flow. He said that holley blue pump is good for 500 hp.

    But this blown guy is freaking me out...:cry:

    Blown5.0 knows his stuff. I've seen his car and it's for sure top grade stuff. I don't think he would lead you wrong.

    Yes, I agree. Notice the "Damn..." followed by the purple frown face up at the top of this page?

    you cant go wrong with having too much fuel volume avaiable. overkill is a very safe way to go. now scooper and mo with the kits you both have i truely belive that you guys will be just fine with your fuel pumps (holley blue for scooper and the billet black for mo). you guys shoud be fine just teeing into the the existing fuel lines and seting the fuel pressure around 7psi. the 7 psi will make the nitrous system a little rich because the jetting is calculated at 5 psi. rich is safe and if you have a fuel pressure gage you may find the pressure may drop a litte when you floor it and the nitrous is on. that way you have that 2 psi buffer.

    I've done it both ways with a separate pump and using a holley blue. For the hp that you will be running Scooper, you should be fine. But if you were going to do a full tilt nitrous system then Blown is correct.
