do i need a bigger fuel system... i have all the mods down below, but i am now up to a Nos 125 dry shot, and all bolt-ons basically. i am going to be adding a TR 220 cam also, would i need to upgrade my injectors, or could i just do fuel pumps. please let me know what my safe bet is.. i dont really race to much any more with 7 points on my license DAMN SPEED LIMITS. hahaha... thanks,,
I think a bigger fuel pump should be added to your to do list. Also upgrade your fuel injectors, to atleast 36lbs or more.
I would also give heavy thought to getting LS1Edit and ATAP. Your adding enough mods where monitoring and tweaking are going to be necessary for safe operation.
Fuel Pump: 255-340lph
Fuel Injectors: 36-42lbs.
This is my best advice, but I encourage others to chime in on this one.

I would up the fuel pump to a intank Walbro GSS340 (we keep these in stock $129.99) and 36# injectors are plenty. You would need to have the tuning done for the new injectors and pump. Let me know if I can help or if you have any other questions.

I will give you one little bit of advice, take it for what its worth, and as always question any advice you get on the internet. That being said:
Skip the cam install, and do the fuel system first. Build your base before you start to chase down horsepower. All the power adders in the world are worthless if the motor explodes shortly after. What your asking your fuel system to do is nearly impossible. Your injectors are barely enough for just a small dry shot. Its the most basic principal. Fuel+Air=Power. Nitrous adds more air, you dont have enough fuel.....KABOOM.
Now as far as LS1Edit, and ATAP? Again, they are as necessary to your car for modifications as a screwdriver and a timing light are to the guys that still run carbs. If you dont want to lay out a whole load of cash, then get a Predator tuner. Atleast it will give you alot of what you need.
Happy motoring.
I most deffinatly agree. You are on the edge now why take that chance? We are going to be running a fuel system SALE in Nov. 10%to20% off everything for your fuel system. Tell you what if you need it now I will sell them to you early. If you have got any other questions please feel free to call.
Thanks Nate
