pros- run better fuel for the nitrous, less stress on the main fuel system, more controlled unit, can be a low or high PSI

cons- price, more stuff in the car

Because FUEL is dedicated to the Nitrous system alone, running lean on nitrous is one of the worst things you can do to a motor, things have a tendency to get really hot. A dedicated fuel system also allows the stock fuel system to provide engine fuel only thus hopefully decreasing any chances of low fuel pressure.

c16 costs 10 dollars a gallon. putting it in the fuel tank sucks.

best of both worlds with a stand alone.

Sure turning the pressure up or down is alot finer adjustment then swapping jets.. Do not know if the tanks come with sensor from the pics I have seen I would say no, there is not one..

You have to open the fuel cell and check the fuel level manually.
