Default Dedicated Fuel System?

How many guys out there running a 150 shot or less (in my case 100) are running a dedicated fuel system for their shot. It would be a nice safety to have but I just wanted some opinion. My mods are in sig.

I would only put one in if I was going above a 175 shot. Now if you see yourself going with a bigger hit in the future I would pick one up, but I am thinking you are looking at it as more of letting your engine live longer. It is defaintly not going to hurt anything, as long as you are tuned for it.

So do you just run race gas in your dedicated fuel system?

Pertains to my original question because I also am running a stock block so more of a safety thing, and also I have heard that our cars don't like much past the 600rwhp range which is why I am only going to spray a 100 shot. I am thinking more in terms of safety and longevity, sorry for the confusion.

Thats cool...

I added my stand alone due to the fact I maxed out the in tank 255 walbro at around an ~80 shot. Now I can just run normal 91-92 octane and add the 102 in the 1 gallon cell.

Well ****, lol I run the 255 Walbro too with the 42#ers, looks like I will either need another pump in line or just do the system.

I run a 200 shot and I don't have a dedicated fuel system and I dont use race fuel. I'v been doing for a while with no prob. Mods are in my sig. But if you can get one why not! It sure as hell won't hurt anything.

If you are only spraying 100 then pump gas is all you need. There is no need for race gas at all..

No need for race gas at a 200+ shot also.

To the OP, a stand alone fuel system looks awesome, but you do not need one for basically anything under a 300 shot IMO. I'll be running a 200 shot on pump gas and no stand alone.
