Default Nitrous experts please.

Ok, I have a Walbro GSM307 in-tank
255lph Fuel pump, my fuel presure is at 49lbs and I'm planning on running a dry 100 to 125 shot, and will back off the timing when I plan on running her.
Does it sound like I should be alright now?

Depends on what power you make off the bottle. That pump should support up to about 550 rwhp without an issue.

sounds like a pretty stout dry shot....

Your pump will be dandy, but how are the injectors?

Fuel Pump sounds fine, but your injectors should be at least 30lbs, maybe 42 for good measure. I'd consider going with a wet system and forget about retarding timing, thats what I run on my ZR1.

With only a 100 shot, your car's computer should be able to adjust for timing without an aftermarket ignition & retarded timing. I'm running a 100 shot wet system with factory fuel pump and injectors and plugs. My system can be adjusted from 75 shot up to 300! My motor wasn't built for laughing gas, so I can safely run 100 shot wet. (Jets are for 100 shot, so I'm really only getting probably 80) Don't forget precautions... Rev limiter & Wide Open Throttle Switch. Just my 2 cents....
