    My mechanic told me I don't need a FPR, that he can control the fuel pressure with a NOS nozzle in the fuel line.. Is that possible??

    i cant answer that one honestly...i know my way works and i have proven it...if he says he can do it and you trust him then go with it....it will save you some money. Unless i hear exactly how he would control the pressure then i cant say...now he could possibly use a fuel filter off say a returnless style fuel system and that possibly work

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

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

    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (

    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.
