Enough pump for 460rwhp and 150 shot? So I'm driving myself nuts with this question since I'm trying to be cost effective. I have a 98 Z28 so luckily I don't have to worry about the fuel bucket. I was very interested in the Racetronix drop in kit but that kit seems to be only recommended up to 600 rwhp. I know I'll start conservatively with a 75 shot but am trying to make the best decision on the cheapest way to get some more leeway up to about 650rwhp. Most of the searching I've done in the Fueling subforum are related to FI but I have to imagine nitrous is less stressful on a pump.
Can the Racetronix kit (possibly with a BAP) get me the leeway I want or do I need to consider a larger pump/w regulator altogether? The kit with the hotwire option is about 250$. It seems I can get a larger pump and regulator for around the same cost but I'm trying to only buy ONE part- just a pump. And the external fuel cells while tempting don't seem to be cost effective for the extra 50rwhp or so I'm trying to get. Help me make a choice here?
The shot would be progressively controlled but I don't know how much that would help with making sure I don't stress the pump.

im running an upgraded in tank pump 255lph... then going standalone fuel system when i spray the car, with a higher grade fuel in the standalone tank. I know thats not what you want to do, But it will ensure perfect fuel pressure to hold that motor together
