How much pressure is low pressure for standalone?
How much pressure is low pressure for standalone? I've been reading everything I can find about a dedicated fuel cell for my new nitrous setup but the one thing I can't seem to find is what is considered low pressure? I'm looking at pumps and regulators now, I just need to know what pressure range I'm looking at.

I perfectly agree with Ben that old holley unit works just fine and dandy.
now for the pump, you will need one that the low pressure stuff will work with. Meaning a EFI pump that can crank out way over 50psi, the holley reg, will have a hard time keeping that psi under control.

Dragframe- typically if the pump is designed for EFI use you will need a higher end regulator to get the pressure down and to be capable of keeping it under control at low pressure.
If you don't mind spending the money, Aeromotive has several regulators that can handle EFI pressure or low pressure. This would give you the ability to run a quality intank pump in the dedicated fuel cell and regulate the pressure down to the 6-12psi range with experiencing pressure creep.
Using a simple external low pressure pump and the holley regulator will work very well together in a lot of situations. So that is another option for you guys.
