Do I need a fuel pump for a 150 shot if I already have a lean shutdown switch? I bought a wet plate kit and was planning to limit myself to a 100 shot because I only have the factory fuel pump and don't want to change it.
If I get an air/fuel lean shutdown switch, I presume it will switch off the nitrous if ever there's not enough fuel coming to the engine, right? So theoratically I wouldn't need to upgrade my fuel pump to spray a 150 shot, would I? Sorry if I say something stupid, all this is new to me.

you should be ok with a 100 shot, but if you're going up to a 150 you'll probably need a boost-a-pump. After that, think about a better fuel pump. It's always a guess though unless you run a wideband.
If you have other mods, then all bets are off.

Yeah, I'd just do the pump. You don't need to go nuts with the Racetronix kit or anything if you don't want to. I just have a Walbro 255lph in tank in my car (had a hotwire kit but it fucked up on me) and it's working great for my cam/big shot car.
