FUEL pressure make sure you have a good fuel supply on a wet kit and if you've never run NOS have someone with you that has.and remember systems are rated for 350 ci most of the time so start low and work up on a 289 and remember respect it or pay for it. and heres run what you brung and i bring 2 15 pound bottles lol

I used to spray my 289.I used a 125 shot for about 8 years.I never ran a seconday fuel syetem, just my Holley Blue and some 91 octane.Got it down to a 11.60's.Nothing forged, not even pistons.

ibought a holley blue fuel pump that was preset @ i think 9 psi, but i then put a holley fuel pressure reguator on and had it turned down to 6psi. it wouldnt stay running on 9 psi. my buddys dad had a 94 Ligthing that had a bunch of work done and had a zex kit with a 200 shot on it..the truck loved it, and was a 12.20 truck all night long at the track. hes pretty familiar with nitrous systems, but he had actually told me to go on here and ask you guys/gals what systems your runing on your carb'd cars. i wana be able to spray just enough and not too much, but i also dont wana sell myself short and not be spraying what the car can handle. im pretty much making a street car off the bottle and a track car on it.
