I am going nitrous! People on here talked me into it (purp did alot of it haha). And what you gotta do is just ask questions even if people think they are dumb do not take offense to em. you gotta learn somehow right? And the tunes are stored on the flip switch its self so when you switch from tune to tune the switch will tell the ecu what tune you want to run

As long as you're not running a big shot, the stock fuel pump should be okay. It's certainly never a bad idea, but probably not necessary.

I hear ya on the cams. $1200 or so just for the cams alone kind of makes it not such a good bang for the buck lol.
Does running a bigger fuel pump have any negative effects while N/A (as in not using nitrous)? I planned on only running 100-125. Seems most guys run a 125 shot.

I am listening trust me. :P

Well i cant speak for all after market fuel pumps, but the SVT pump drops right in, and does not effect n/a performance.

Cool. I'm guessing the SVT pump is the SVT Focus pump?

I am also using the focus pump and it works very well for my power level. Another option for your fuel supply if you don't want to drop the tank is to get a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump to get a little more volume from your stock pump.

As for what mrtstang said about being faster/quicker than blown 2 valves in the same power range, he is very correct. Typically, a nitrous car will make alot more torque and have more power under the curve than a blower car at similar hp levels.

Will I get the same benefit from the boost-a-pump as I would from the svt pump?


Where do you all get most of your nitrous components? Whatever site has the best deals at the time?
