    a 5 gallon cell is a little overkill for a dedicated fuel system, i only run about a 1 gallon fuel cell on my systems and along with the 255 FP you will also need a fuel pressure regulator

    Here's my old setup i have already done another setup like this in the truck as of last week again....work flawlessly.

    Hey bud, I already have an extra battery where your fuel cell is located at..
    So, do you use a IN-LINE fuel pump in your setup?? Cause the one I ordered from NP it's a IN-TANK fuel pump.. That's my concern, how will I be able to hold it still in a 5gal fuel cell..

    how much does one of your systems cost? i already have the nitrous kit, just want the 1 gal cell for nitrous use only.

    Hey guys, finally I came up with this idea..
    Install the walbro fuel pump in my stock tank, and use my stock fuel pump in the 1Gal fuel cell hooked up to the nitrous selenoids..
    I have a question, will does the stock fuel pump have enogh lbs to work in this setup?? Another question is, should I use a different wiring setup for the walbro FP? I'm asking that because they are supposed to work great when they are being supplied by 13.5v and I'm not sure if it will get that with my stock wiring..
    Any suggestions will help!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    I always recommend putting something such as the racetronix.com hotwire kit in when you install an aftermarket fuel pump.

    There is a writeup on here where we did DamnYankee's truck. We just used a GrandNational hotwire kit for the 87 model, I believe.
