Hi all.....Thinking of putting a 150 shot on the car........So do I keep the dual plane or put a Vic JR on......should I run another pump or put a bigger one on..I have a Holly Blue......
Also looking for pro's and cons....At this point I'm just thinking about it.....

As far as the intake, the dual plane intake is fine at a 150 shot, but I wouldnt exceed that. The single plane may provide a little better results as far as how much of that 150 shot you actually make good use of, but the dual plane is not a real problem that you should sweat at a 150 shot. If you planned for more, you would want a single plane for less risk due to better distribution. As far as the fuel pump goes, Id keep it if it were me. If you dont already have the stuff, Id be more concerned about getting an adjustable regulator and a guage so you can verify and/or tune out adequate fuel pressure with the current pump cause it should be good for a 150 shot with the right tuneup(probably a step colder on the plugs and about 4 degrees of timing retard with a slightly richer mix of course and make sure to keep after the plugs to see if any further changes need to be made to keep that spark plug color looking good).

Sorry that I can't offer any help, but I had to tell you your car looks great in CHP! It looks extremely mean. :D And that burnout is awsome:thumbsup: .
Just wanted to pay you a compliment,
Chris

You'll be fine. I sprayed my 355 dual plane with a 200 shot and have had no problems at all. I also use a holley blue pump to run the motor and spray with the stock 3/8 line. Greg is right on with the colder plugs and retarding the timing, 2 deg per 50 HP is recommended. A FP gauge is nice to have , you'll want to make sure you can maintain a min of 5 lbs at the big end. Also remember that NOS standard jetting is 40% rich.

Scott, There shouldnt be any real problems when using small nitrous hits. I have to say that a good fuel pump and really good regulator are paramount when spraying. The timing retard is best handled by an automatic retard box though. With the box the timing is automatically pulled back when the nitrous is activated as opposed to manually retarding the timing which is a pain as it leads to the engine not idling correctly and being hard to start. Talk to Applied Nitrous about your plans, Jeff Prock can give you all the ins and outs of nitrous usage and will steer you in the right direction on everything.
