Default Fix for FP drop with NOSzle

I just wanted to drop a note that i am well on the path to fixing the initial FP drop when using the NOSzle system on my vette which i run off the rail. I switched to the 97-98 fuel rails with the pressure regulator on the rail... i have not dynoed the new setup yet but i can tell you on 3 test runs my pressure dropped under 3lbs with the new rails... well within my desired results. before with the 02 rails my pressure would drop from 60 to 40... now i run 55 and it drops to 52 or so then immediatly back up to 55 and at the end of my neigborhood quarter FP is sitting at 58... so it appears for my setup i am happy with the results we will see how it runs on the track... not to mention now that i have a FP regulator i am thinking of adding a 100 dry shot from parts i have in the garage off my old LT1 dry kit.. just for street use..

the cost for this was 100.00 for the rails, 130.00 for fittings and dash 6 return line and 15.00 for a fuel filter without the return line ( 50.00 cheaper than the 02 version which needed replaced) and a little time to run the line. i want to also add the adjustable regulator so that will add another 100 or so. while not cheap i did not want to add aftermarket rails, regulator and pump. According to Racetronix and LPE this setup is good for 750 FW HP...

I am in the process of the 97 swap also. Its a PITA runnign the lines around the bell housing but worth it in the long run.
