I'm going to be putting nitrous on my currently stock motor this spring.

Currently I'm planning on the following:

Edelbrock Performer manifold
Rebuilt stock carb
75-100hp nitrous kit
headers, y-pipe
3" cat back exhaust

Will the stock fuel pump be able to handle the demands, or should I upgrade? And if I should upgrade, will a mechanical pump fit the bill or should I go electric?

Thanks,
Keith

 

What size is your motor? What kind of fuel pump does it have now?

 

DOH!!

Has the 305, carb, stock mechanical fuel pump...

 

If you are thinking about upgrading, it can't hurt. I believe that the stock pump will handle that amount of nitrous, but if you don't want to take any chances, then upgrade to a better (mechanical) pump. You really don't need an electric pump for such a small hit of nitrous. If you were running somewhere around 200 horse of nitrous, then I would reccomend an electric pump just for the nitrous system. I hope this helps.
