fuel pump needed? New valve springs? MS3 + 100 shot.
I have seen some people say I need to upgrade my fuel pump, while others say I dont.
As far as my current setup, I have 41lb injectors in, with a MS3 cam. Nitrous kit is a NOS power shot wet kit with a Harris Speed works Plate setup. Im going to be running mainly a 100 shot, but would like the extra room to go up to a 150 if needed.
car put down 412rwhp N/A with ALOT of fuel left on the injectors.
Would it also be reccomended to have new valve springs in before I use the spray? I currently have the dual Patriot golds (.660 lift), Titanium retainers and locks, Thunder Racing 7.425 hardened pushrods, LS2 timing chain and a ported LS6 oil pump. The valve train/cam setup have roughly around 20k on them now (were installed brand new). Would it be ok to take a chance with these valve springs with 20k on them, with the spray? Or have new ones installed?
Thanks alot.

Not sure why you think nitrous would cause the need for valve springs. If the springs are fine they're fine....As long as you're not floating valves I'd leave them alone.
As for the fuel pump, do it. If there is ANY question about it you may as well do it. When it comes to nitrous, better safe than sorry.

Im in the same boat as you! I have stock injectors though and have green tops waiting to go in. But I also have the HSW plate kit with 100 shot right now. I want that 150 hit but going to put in a racetronix fuel pump kit first. I mean I probably "don't" need too, but like the other guy said, better safe then sorry. I think you should be good on the springs
