Nitrous/fuel question
Hey guys, I got your basic fuel/nitrous question. Here's the facts
1. 04 ZO6
2. LS6, 6 speed
3. good size cam/and full bolt-ons
4. about 430 to the rear wheels=all motor
5. stock fuel system
So heres the question, I want to run a 150ish wet shot. But I think my fuel system is close to maxed. I was thinking a walboro 255, but I don't think it could support 625ish RWHP. And I don't want to cut it that close. But I also don't want to spend a fortune on a nitrous fuel system. What is appealing about nitrous is it initial cost per HP. If I'm going to spend thousands on custom fuel systems and a kit then I would consider other avenue's.
Thanks......
Maybe It wasn't clear, I'm looking for advise on a fuel fix for a 430ish N/A with 150ish wet shot. Total 575-625ish RWHP. Has to be streetable.

When I say streetable I mean road trips. Like an 8 hour trip or something like that. So no boost-a-pumps, I've heard they really push the pump to the max and they burn out relatively quick. And I'm not interested in big custom fuel systems with returns and all that. And no custom or cutting on the factory fuel tank.
But if I can't make it work from the car tank then I may do a stand alone with a 1 gallon cell up front. And thats a whole nother bag of worms

Thanks, It looks like my choices are dual 255 in tank or stand alone fuel system. I hear the dual in tank kit can be wired up differently. One way being duals pushing together all the time (in series) or have the secondary pump come on line when the nitrous system is brought on line. What about these choices, does anybody have an opinion on these ?? thanks for the info...

I have a single 255 supporting 600rwhp on motor, so I think you'd be fine but close to the limit. I'd probably try that and see where you are. A stand alone is probably the better, more intrusive solution, you won't get the lean spike since it dosen't pull from the rail. I have one from the nitrous outlet.

I got a similar set up pushing 440ish to the wheels. I am in the same boat. From what I understand the stock system should support the 150 shot but your at the max. I'm going to start with a 100 shot then try to work my up to the 150.
