Default Upgrades on a 427 for 150 shot

I currently run a Racetronix pump and 42's. What would I need to do with the fuel system to run a 150 max wet system?

How much HP are you making NA? Depending on that answer it's possiable you might be okay, or you might need to do a fuel rail mounted fuel pressure regulator. Another option would be a stand alone, then you could run a higher octane fuel in the stand alone. If your in a F car we have one:

Well, I would be looking at being close to 700rwhp on the bottle. Would a fpr be enough for that, or would that be pushing it? You think 42's would do the job? I was assuming I would need to go bigger. It won't be a direct port system.

Yes, you would be pushing it. You would need a FRM FPR with a boost a pump more then likley. The 42s will be fine as the N2O is a wet kit and the injectors don't come into play. In your situation I would lean more towards a stand alone.
