I was wondering if I will have enough fuel pump for a nitrous apllication. I have a 69' 351 bored 30 over with 30 lb. injectors. The car has stock fuel lines and rails with a 190 gal/hr fuel pump. I was considering adding a 100-150 shot of nitrous using a wet kit, probably a plate system. Will I have enough pump to safely run a kit this size, or should I get a bigger 255? Peace of mind is huge considering I do not want to lean this motor out and blow it. This is the first time I will be running nitrous so any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I also have 10.5:1 Venolia pistons in the motor, are these durable pistons that will be able to handle a shot of juice? Kind of new to all of this. Please help!??
