Default Questions about my setup need advice

2000 camaro a4 with forged lq4 ls6,heads nitrous spec cam, 340 stealth in tank pump. I want to run a 250 shot for now off the stock rail. If put a boosta pump on toggle switch to use only when spraying will that be enough to keep me from going lean on initial hit. All info is appreciated

I'm not so sure you can do that much on the stock rail. I'll let others chime in here...

Your deffinatly going to lean out with that much of a shot off the rail. I wouldnt go any higher than a 200 personally and even that can be risky on ls1 rails.

I was going lean on a 150 shot off the rail with a stealth 340 pump.

I too would advise against a 250 shot off the rail. You need a stand alone setup once you step up to that big a shot. Do you have any experience at all running nitrous? I would advise you take baby steps and learn how to read plugs and adjust the tune-up accordingly.

Yes I've ran nitrous plenty of times and I know reading the plugs is the best way to tune I was just wondering about the stock rail and it looks like there will be a nitrous dedicated fuel system in my future haha. I was planning on that route when I up the shot even more but I was hoping to slip by for a while at 200 or 250 for now but that's doesn't seem to be an option.

The fuse location dedicated fuel cells are nice. You can find them on the classified section periodically.

Stuff the fuse panels in the hole and throw a generic 1 gallon cell in that spot.
