Change your fuel filter. If your car is stock and you're spraying a 100 or less you should be okay. You definately do not want to run lean.

I added a Racetronix unit ( http://www.moreperformanceinc.com ). Look under Fuel.

It truly is the easiest mod for a C4 Vette. Takes about 45 minutes (even with adding the upgraded wiring) and the peace of mind is priceless.

Racetronix makes a very nice kit. I just got mine in. Very nice wire harness with it. It is in tank also. Very affordable. :thumbs:

With a 150 you need to check it with a wideband O2 on a dyno.

Hope you got the money put back for a rebuild or have good credit with VISA.

FWIW, if you increase the fuel pressure the Nitrous will run fat. I would expect your fuel pressure to be in the 42-44 range stock though (without the vacuum connected). The Walbro GSS340 (high presure) or the GSS307 are the pumps you want if you are planning on upgrading the stock in-tank pump.
