I never get pissed at anything anyone says, unless it is about my orange $.99 life jacket.

Best quote of the thread... :thumbup:

It's pretty interesting how everyone kind of has their own idea what works. Hell even the techs at Edelbrock have their own idea what works. The first one said I didn't need to flow the fuel side because Edelbrock dyno's their system with the fuel jets fat to compensate for lower fuel pressure. I even read a hotrod article that said this. From the article, (We spoke with a couple of Holley engineers, and they told us they intentionally set the budget Cheater kits on the rich side out of concern that some enthusiasts using the kit may likely have less than 5 psi of fuel pressure. Low-dynamic fuel pressure (with the nitrous engaged) requires a larger jet to supply a safe volume of fuel.) Then I called a different Edelbrock tech and he said I needed to flow the fuel system not only with a jet but with the plate too. I feel like calling Edelbrock back to see if I get a third opinion. lol

I appreciate all the info that I am getting from everyone but all in all I am just trying to do this right with out doing any harm to the engine. I also want it to look good but not break the bank.

I hear ya, I really wanted to make it simple and use the fuel pump I have but after talking with everyone I felt like I was cutting corners.

. I would agree with you. NOS gets a bad rap do to poor setups. Everything is got to be right to successfully run NOS the bigger the shot the more critical it becomes. Most people might not agree with my setup but I'm good with it. I run a complete separate tank when on NOS but every thing goes on the 116 carb and NOS sil.   Fat is just as bad as lean on a NOS run talk to the guys that have ran it with big shots and success doing it.
