Default Best pump for a 150 shot

Kinda want to go w/ an inline pump and just looking for the cheapest place to get one...

Also wondering.. does it matter what a/f ratio you are running n/a as long as you run about 12.0 w/ the nitrous?

And I have my nk6 plugs gapped @ 38 will it handle that big of shot.

Also I want to spray off the line but have stock stall im guessing this would be a right I have been doing it w/ the 100 but have been reading its bad..

I know search but Iv been looking and not getting a lot so opinions would be appreciated thanks

And whats the most timing I can run w/ it... As of now im timing is a bit off I think its looks to run about 18-22 during wot. I have so many test this week before spring break I dont really have time to do a lot of reading but im inthe process of reading more on tuning since I just scaled my maf last time and found out thats bad..

I know ita a pain but my personal opinion is that a inline pump is a band aid.Spend the extra time and put a intank pump in it.

255 in-tank is a proven pump, has been used for ever and for many different cars. can't go wrong with that.

installing it, i think it is a big pita which involves dropping the rear and gas tank or cutting an acess panel on top behind your rear seats under the carpet, then re attaching the panel. i've heard it is NOT fun..

I installed the racetronix plug and play ands it wasn't that bad at all, it took me 5 hrs to complete everything I also opted to drop the tank instead of cutting the access panel. If I were you I would get the racetronix it goes for $250 and you won't have to worry about anything.

Yeah at first look it really looks like a total PITA to do. But, dropping the rear end and tank is actually not that big of a deal. A single person should be able to drop the rear end in about 45 minutes, and putting it back up might take an hour. I took my rearend off to paint and it wasn't that big of a problem after watching a walbro 255 in tank pump install.
