Default Fueling for a 100 hp wet shot

I'm looking to install a nitrous express wet kit with a 100 shot on my H/C/I stock bottom end ls1. I'm going to use all the necessary electronics to pull timing, the lnc-2000, an innovate Motorsports psn-1 for a window switch, wideband, bottle pressure and safety controls. The kit is the basic Gm efi kit from 2007 that I've never used till now. My question is, what do I do for fueling? I know I need to upgrade my stock fuel pump but to what? If I upgrade to a 340 pump, do I need a regulator? A Hotwire kit? Whole new supply line or are the factory lines sufficient? Also, it has the shark dual knozzle, is that decent or should I spend the money for a plate to match up to my fast 92? All input is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also, sponsors, I still need to buy all my electronics and accessories so who's got the deals? Black Friday?

I sprayed a 100 shot on my 404ls2 for years. All I had was a racetronix 255 and hot wire kit. Factory lines.

I would imagine it would be the same then with a bigger 340 pump. I wanted to install more than a 255 to give room to grow down the road

I run a NX shark nozzle style wet kit, and it works great. A racetronix 255 with hotwire kit will be perfect

That's good to know. Seems like that's the standard upgrade that works well. Would there come a point when the 255 is not enough?

Definitely. IIRC the single 255 and hotwire kit is good up till around 600 rwhp max. Of couse that changes if you run different fuel, blower, etc...

Yup. I was maxing it out with the 100 shot. Why I never went to 150 or more. Now I have a stand alone

If you think you are going to add more power down the road, then like you said, make sure you have room to grow. I'm around 550ish rwhp with the bottle, and I've even considered going with dual's. It might be overkill, but I hate changing stuff twice.

I'd go with a Walbro 255 and a hotwire harness. That setup should get you covered up to around 650rwhp.

Chris, for sake of increasing spray or possible boost down the road, do you know or anyone know what a 340 pump with Hotwire harness would be good up to hp wise? I'm at 460rwhp now n/a and I can't see myself making more the 650 rwhp with the car on spray but we all know that you get used to a certain power level and am always looking to the next step up.

We all like to go to the next power level
That's why I would say go bigger if you plan on increasing down the road.

I'll see if racetronix offers a 340 pump with a Hotwire kit and go with that. Cause yeah, I don't want to change it down the road if I get brave and want to run a bigger shot.

Something like that will get you around 800+hp worth of support.

I have the racetronix 340 pump and a hotwire. Doesn't blink an eye at my current power level.

This will be the route I go. Don't wanna have to do it twice and I'm sure at some point I'm gonna be looking for more power. I always am.

What's your power level? Racetronix sold that as a package/kit?

408rwhp N/A, 550rwhp N2O on a stingy Mustang Dyno. They have all sorts of different packages and kits. I went with them mostly because they made a drop-in for g-bodies based off of turbo GNs.
