Default Couple nitrous questions

This isnt a how much will my ls1 handle post... lol But i was just curious how much fuel pressure drop you are seeing pulling from the rail?

Ive got a base c5, changed to 243 heads, btr stg 4 cam, ls6 intake, 78mm nitrous outlet plate, 42lb ls7 injectors, lingenfelter in tank pump...

im running a 150 shot and its pulling about 8psi of fuel pressure. Just wanted to see what everyone else sees, if anything.

A/f stays under 12.0, right about 11.6-11.8.

I really don't know... have a dyno set up for next weekend. I think I actually could be maxing out the pump. I thought it was a 255 pump but it shows its a 225. Rated at 600hp

Fuel pumps actual rating isn't in horsepower and I shake my head when I hear fuel pump manufacturers and vendors use it because it's so irresponsible.
At 16 volts and 8psi, N/A, that fuel pump may support 950 horsepower. At 12v and 58psi, boosted, it may only support 600.
Considering your specific application and if everything's right, you should have enough pump to support at least 600whp.

Completely agree, never really understood that. I figured they were kind of just a close rating of what it could handle.
