I'm getting reading to upgrade my fuel system and wanted some opinions on my options. As of now I have a Carter strip mechanical pump running to the carb and then to the fuel solinoid for the nitrous. I've limited the amount of nitrous I've used because of this setup. I've purchased an electric fuel pump (and filter) and am getting ready to install it. But I have so many options I'm not sure which to choose. Here are some that I have thought of,1) Eliminate the mechanical pump and run the electric to the carb and the N2O solinoid.
2) Leave the mechanical pump plumbed to the carb and run another seperate line from the stock fuel tank to the electric pump then to the N2O solinoid.
3) Same as 2 but install a fuel cell in the trunk to supply race fuel to the electric pump for the N2O.
4) Get a 2nd pump and run 2 electric pumps, 1 for the carb and 1 for the N2O.
5) Feed the mechanical pump with the electric pump and then feed to both the carb and the N2O soliniod.
As of now my N2O system is only good up to 150HP. I really don't think I'll be upgrading the N2O system in the future, so the fuel system must be sufficient for 150 NOS max. With all of the above mentioned I am wondering what size fuel lines to run also. I think someone here posted a link to a site that says 1/2" line is the minimum. 3/8" would be much easier and cheaper too. Do I need 1/2" or no? Of course the "best" system is the one that will meet my needs but is not over kill. Money is always a factor but I want to protect the motor at the same time.
Help me out with the best lowest cost setup.
Thanks for your help,
B-loose
