Default Big block N20 fuel system???

This is realy been the last mystery for me as far as picking out parts... ive never done such a setup, but im juggling a few options... I think it boils down to more street use or mostly track... anyways..

A forged and studed 496 that will turn most power from 3k-7000, race gas with a fogger system on top. Im juggling between a holley dominator or the proform 950 cfm. Anyone running a dominator on the street?? The proform just seems more srteetable but i also dont want to go lean when spraying what could be a huge ammount of N20 at the track... 300 shot easy...

Im sure about my fuel pump, and regulator...

But should i go Number 8 or 10 line??
and dominator or proform??

ill list anymore details if you need them,

if you are running 1 pump for the n2o and carb you should go bigger -12 from tank/cell to the pump and then -10 to the Y block/fuel log and then -8 the rest of the way

Wow.. and yes one pump. I was planning on buying the Aeromotive A1000 pump. it has #10 inlet and outlet. would it be ok to adapt a #10 - #12 or buy another pump that just has #12 ports. i actualy have some #12 line and fittings already, so i would go that route if its needed.

Sorry, but do you have an intake pump or in-line pump? Also big blocks like dominators, you just have to play with the jetting a little.

On my slow car I ran almost the same as outlaw, but I used -6 lines from reg to carb.

I replaced the -10 with -12 fittings, the extra volume of fuel in the line seems to work good for my combo. I wouldn't worry about going lean when you spray, the extra fuel comes from the fuel solenoid, not carb.

yea the A1000 is an inline pump, i plan on just reusing the factory plastic tank, just install 2 fittings on the bottom, for outlet and return.

Thanks for the info so far.
