Nitours fuel system

When running a seperate nitrous fuel system on a fbody, would I want to run a low pressure pump or high pressure pump?

Why would you run a low pressure system? I would run a high pressure stand alone since the car runs a high pressure system. If it were a carb setup then that changed everything.

Low pressure stuff is easier to tune.

If you have the ability to choose, then go Low. You can run a standalone as well.

I went with High pressure becuase im running everything off a magnafuel pump.

You'll get more jetting options for smaller wet shots if you use a LP system...if you run a high pressure stand alone, and want to run a fairly small wet shot, you'll need to run a tiny fuel jet, which could get clogged way more easily.

The difference between the two should only be a spring change away in the regulator on the stand alone...if it were me, I'd run a LP stand alone setup to allow more flexibility with the fine tuning.
