you can, I would recomend upgrading anyway for added saftey. You will be pushing the limits of the stock one. I would just look at it as it being easier and cheaper to replace a fuel pump then an engine. Going with a Nitrious set up isn't something you wanna cheap out on. I will say though chances are you will be pretty safe with a fuel pressure saftey switch though, it's your call.

Not sure how long the old stocker would last, but I know quite a few people who've run them and havent had a problem. at least you have a fuel pressure safety switch. I run into too many people these days that think Nitrous is a small project. I ask them about safety items, and such, and they just reply "I dont need that stuff, my nitrous is on or off by this switch right here"

Heck a local F-body guy just put juice on his car. I think he's running a 125 shot. No colder plugs, no pulled timing, (it's an Auto), spraying through the shifts. Ohh well I guess

I think you will be allright for a little while as long as the saftey switch is in and you plain on upgrading the fuel pump.

Can you get the wiring upgrade in time???? It will helpout the stock pump a lot. I think the hit is going to trigger the safety switch and the spray will be incosistent. What happens is the sudden large demand causes a dip in pressure till the regulator/pump catchup.
Make sure the filter is fresh and quality, may sound silly but the fuel filter is often neglected.

Why would timing need to be pulled as much with 110?
