NEED HELP: N2O Fuel System
I'm going to be installing a dual nozzle wet kit on a heads/cam, forged internal '01 LS1. I plan on spraying 150-300. The car made something like 390ish rwhp on 28" slicks thru a TH400.
What do I need to support an additional 150-300HP ?

A 150 and a 300 is a night and day differance. Setting the car up for a 150-200 (maybe even 250) is no problem. A good intank fuel pump set up, relocating the FP regulator, and possibly a new set of rails will do the trick. But if your going to really be hitting the car hard I would go with a stand alone set up. Basicly you'll need, a fuel tank, regulator, and high or low pressure pump depending on how you want to set it up. I personally think sending any more than a wet 250 shot through the intake is starting to push it. Both with puddling and distribution issues.
If you want to avoid a DP set up you might be able to go with a 2 stage wet/dry combo but you would probrably have to upgrade injectors also if you went that route.

GM Muscle -- I see what you're saying. The car will probably only see about 200HP in nitrous. Will a single Walbro 255 handle that? Otherwise, what do you suggest?
Thanks.
Thanks.

We have done single pump Racetronix kits (with a fuel rail fuel regulator) up to 615 ish before. If you are at 390ish now and want to spray a 200 shot that puts you around 600 ballpark. I personally would not go with the Walbro pump over the Racetronix. IMO anything over a 200 shot I would be looking more towards a dedicated fuel cell for the nitrous.

Can't you just do dual in-tank? I've seen the stuff that NitroDave's has to offer... I can't move my battery because there's no room in the back, and I can't move around my fuse boxes because I have the rest of my nitrous setup there too. So the only place to put an extra fuel cell would be where the T-Tops go, and my T-Tops go there so... no extra fuel cell for me. The only thing I could think of was dual in-tank.

My initial thoughts were of a dual-intank setup.
What's needed [aside from the 2 Walbros] to complete that type of system?
Also, I really don't want to run a dedicated fuel system on the car.
I'm confident that I can support all the fuel I need for a 200-shot without one.
Anyone else with suggestions?
Thanks again guys.

Go to mightymouses home page. He has a goodwrite up with pictures on a dual pump install that has supported 900ish rwhp. Basically dual pumps in the cannister y'd into a -8 feed line through aftermarket rails, through a front mounted regulator and uses the stock feed line for the return line back to the tank.
