Not sure it will be enough w/ a 175 shot.

550rwhp is about the limits of that pump. Let me know if you decide to upgrade to a bigger fuel system as I have many options.

Just go to a stand alone fuel cell for the nitrous kit.

I second the stand alone fuel cell! Then you can run race fuel when you spray.

I build custom dual pump setups that are plug-n-play & fit in the factory tank.
These are an easy drop in modification that will support big power numbers.
This is what I recommend for most applications.

In some cases I am a fan of stand alone systems... If you have a need for more octane in your combination, it may make life easier to run a separate cell with some racefuel. If your power level gets to the point of needing straight race fuel in both tanks to protect your engine, then you are back to the simplicity of a single fuel system.

Keep in mind that your engine build must also be fed properly & in some cases the engine alone will exceed your single intank pumps capability... as many serious nitrous motors are capable of.

Lots of ways to skin a cat here... Just do your research, so you only buy things once.

Feel free to call if you want to discuss in more detail.
