I'd call Holley to see if that pump is alcohol safe....as I understand, it dose something to the glue/epoxy on the vanes of SOME pumps.

you would use the pro star 500 for everything IMO. Just buy a distribution block and run it.

Here's my -10 line up front to the block to the carb regulator and a quick fuel regulator behind it that is E85 safe.

Could you run a single pump setup like this if running a gas motor instead of E85?

If so, I wonder what size pump. My car already has 2 separate pumps on it, but they both need replacing, so if may be time to change stuff.

That 500 will run engine and nitrous no problem. Do like the guy above said.

it's rated to 2000hp on race gas, so even if you took off 30% for e85 added volume, that's still 1600hp it'll keep up on no problem.

Like said the 500 will be able to run both, just make sure you flow your nitrous fuel pressure regulator with a flow tool
