Question carb standalone fuel cell

hey guys im about to start my nitrous standalone system. im looking to put a holley carb pump with pressure regulator for my nitrous fuel feed. im running a stock pump for the motor and the independent carb style system for the nitrous. what do u guys think? will i run in to problems with this setup? im looking to shoot 200, i know that stock pump wont handle that.

car has ms3, ls7 lifters, ported 241s, victor jr efi, edelbrock lowpro elbow, 4150 plate kit, full bolt on, th400.

it will work fine,
with the carb pump, just be sure to jet the fuel for a carb fuel pressure and not for EFI fuel pressure
6psi vs 58 psi is quite a big difference in jetting..LOL

You will have no problem with running it on low pressure. Low pressure is actually a little easier to tune on. We recommend using lower pressure on the dedicate for tuning purposes.

this way the stock pump will not suffer correct? and i wont run in to issues running the stock pump for a short time maybe 2 to 3 times at the track and then upgrading to an aeromotive. im just dieing to take the car down the track with the new set up. tight budget and the cars been down for a year !

since the dedicated fuel system will be supplying all the fuel for the nitrous system, the in tank pump for the motor will have only the motor taxing the pump.

Any unleaded race fuel will be good and will not damage your wideband.

I would run something like 110 or 112 unleaded in the dedicated or at least the highest unleaded octane fuel you can find since the wideband is a concern.

Probably around 5-7 passes depending on how your application is consuming the nitrous.
