When you do this, do you eliminate the bucket alltogether?
And is there any drawback to doing so?

I'm thinking a separate fuel system for the N20 would be the best route.
Fuel cell and dedicated pump.

I disagree, I seen with my own eyes a 408 LSx make 540 to the tires on motor and 700 to the tires on a 175 shot with a single 255 in the tank on stock fuel lines. With a hotwire kit. Is still running like this. Not saying I would do that...but it has been done and I know the car thats doing it.


But I would put a dedicated fuel system in the car for the spray. The one gallon kind that mount up front. I just happen to have a setup like this for sale, mounts in the left front. $400

I feel ya. I just don't like to take chances, ya know?

Not saying it can't be done...you just won't ever see a budget fuel system on my car if I were at those HP levels.

no bucket and we suggest always keeping a 1/4 tank of fuel

I do agree a stand alone is best IMO for a nitrous car. I do plan to do that at some point with my car.

stand alone may be best but if your out of money this is still a safe bet right? and larry do you carry the Y and whatever other things are needed? i think im goin to do this but use the stock pump and the 255 till i can get a dedicated.

I agree the standalone is expensive and the reason why I have 2 pumps in my tank at this time.

stock pump and 1 255 will be plenty good as well

The Y's we normally have in stock, but at this time we have not found a cheap source yet, so they are like $30
