Not really. You can't compare nitrous numbers to blower numbers, since your only using 75% the fuel give or take, since your base tune is leaner, and you aren't losing hp to parasitic loss.

I have a livernois dual pump with twin 400lphs in the bucket.

That's why you seal it up. Not like you leave an open hole. Ever rode in an old Chevy pickup? Say a 67-72? Tanks in the cab with you.

Peoples been cutting holes in cars ever since they started putting the fuel pump in the tank . Goto the 4th gen forum.

That's what I was planning on doing, nice access plate bolted and sealed air tight! Like we talked about the other day.

i kinda been thinking the same thing do i need a pump, im at 470 rwhp n/a and runnin a small shot atm , but wondering at wht point do i need a pump.

Well, I guess am leaning towards doing a Lingenfelter boost a pump recommended by Nitrous Outlet along with their recommended fuel line crossover kit. I am really just trying to avoid the pressure drop at the fuel rails when the shot comes in. Nitrous Outlet assures me that this setup would be good to 700 RWHP I only plan on being around 600 RWHP for the time being.

Any other pointers out there?

Suck it up and get the fuel pump. The BAP is the same price as the pump, but the pump will flow much better, longer then the stock pump being overworked. ZL1 pump works great at 650rwhp on a Maggie car.

I think I'm going to have to get to KS one of these days so we can go play. Maybe I can work something out with the wife and tag along with Alex. Last one arrested takes care of bail. lol
