Default nitrous question

if you have your system set up with a fuel pressure regulator it will not let you spray nitrous unless your fuel pressure is high enough, correct?

A fuel regulater just controls flowing fuel pressure.

Now if you mean a fuel pressure safety switch it is desighned to kill the ground to the system relay if your fuel pressure was to drop.

The beast is a wideband with a air fuel shut off switch.
Like the FJO units.

I am spraying 175 on a stock 99 C-5 (stock engine and fuel pump).
I changed to colder plugs, I dyno'ed the car and monitored the AFR during the testing. I monitored KR with a Predator, and pulled timing as needed.

The system is safe as you make it. As long as you follow the instructions, and it is installed correctly you should be OK. Stuff like the jetting (and don't accidently put the wrong jets in), the nitrous bottle pressure (using a heater and a pressure switch to maintain it for the pressure the system is rated at), use of a window switch, using a colder spark plug, turning off traction control when your spraying...

75-150 no problem as long as its installed right and used right.
