Default N2O newb?building fuel system for future n2o

im redoing my fuel system with a fuel cell at the moment. i currently running holleys hp125 pump with -6AN kine deadheaded to a carbed lq4. in the future i want to run nitrous. i want to run 1 fuel pump. i am planning on a return line to fuel cell.

i want to know if -6 is big enough to feed carb and n2o or should i go up to -8? i will upgrade fuel pump that can handle the volume when i do get nitrous. i ask about -8 because in the future plane on more power and dont want to have to replace fuel lines again.less work and less money. also how do i feed carb and n2o solenoid when using a bypass regulator?

as of now my engine can push my 3700lb vehicle to run 11.95@112mph on street tires. im not sure what the max hp level i could run. its stock bottom end lq4 that has the ly6 pistons(2005). if i had traction could i get into the 10 sec 1/4 mile times?

thanks for any help. yes i have searched this forum and google but want to hear a answer from someone that knows about this stuff rather than me wasting time and money and possibly hurting engine.

I would suggest going with the 8an line especially if you want to grow later without having to double buy.

given the cost difference between -6 and -8 there is no reason NOT to go with a -8 right away.

oh, make sure you are using PTFE fuel line to prevent any issues in the future.
