How much of a shot do you plan on running? If your gonna keep the shot limited then you will be just fine with a high volume mechanical pump and regulator.

Any of the major manufacturers will work good. I personally run a 130 GPH holley mechanical with a holley adjustable regulator set at about 7.5 psi. I have ran a 175 shot with no problems at all and I plan on more. I normally only have it set on the 100 hp level though. I plan on putting on a big shot plate system and I think I will upgrade once I start really leaning on it (more then a 250 shot). You will be fine with a mech. one.

The nitrous system comes with a nitrous and a fuel silonoid both of which will have to be jetted properly per spec on the system. U normally don't have to change the carburator jetting assuming you have a proper tune on it right now. You will have to tap into your fuel system for the fuel silonoid though.
