What type of Set up are you running? What is the reason you feel you need a Fuel accumulator?

I wouldn't advise using an accumulator as a band-aid type fix. I would address the problem you're seeing first hand with a pump/front mount regulator/etc.

I was told that the accumulator will help eliminate the lean spike of the initial hit. I'll be running a wet plate kit from Nos.5168 i believe.

I am not afan of the accumulater. If you are having a lean spike due to fuel pressure drop its time to upgrade the fuel system. If you are having a lean spike and the fuel system is not droping pressure the fix would be to shorten the hose from the fuel solenoid to the plate.
Let me know if I can offer any technical help.

Another way around it is to use a controller like the microEDGE to add a delay to one of the solenoids. Inherently the F-Body fuel system has its demons and occasionally there is the one car that shows this issue more than the others. I would get everything together first and go from there. No point in spending money where it might not be needed. Just my $.02.
