will my stock fuel pump support a 150shot wet nx plate kit?

also should I pull timing? im running 100 shot right now with NGK br6ef plugs and it runs real good. but like everyone else always looking for more, so want to throw 150 shot on the car.

I can't beeline ur spraying the 100 on a stock pump ? You sir are crazy and living on bought time .... I've been playing with laughing gas for years and first things first is you upgrade the fuel system , your taking fuel from the rail to feed the fuel solenoid which then reduces fuel at the injectors this is why you want a stronger pump that pumps more fuel to compensate for the fuel lost going into the fuel solenoid , but what do I know I've yet to have a nitrous related incident because I did my homework

I take all advice when I can, that's why I ask the questons......im in process of switching to a pi intake manifold, so while the car is apart I will also upgrade the pump then for sure, do they swap right in or do I need an install kit?

What years ur car 96 ? The 98 went to a returnless system so in that case I'd go Svt focus or Lincoln aviator and they're both direct replacement pumps ...

Whats the difference in return and returnless fuel systems? Also how hard and what all does one do to make a returnless system out of a return system. Is there any advantage over the other?

return system has a fuel pressure regulator and an additional line that returns the unused fuel back to the tank

a returnLESS system doesn't have a fuel pressure regulator but instead has a fuel rail pressure sensor and the ecu controls the pump output to supply only the amount of fuel the engine needs

in order to swap to a returnLESS setup, you will need to wire up a fuel pressure sensor and swap in an ecu that can control the fuel pump module such as a 99+ ford ecu, you'll needs the fuel pump module and the returnLESS fuel pumps

the major benefit of the returnLESS setup is that you don't heat up the fuel, this reduces emissions and doesn't cause as rapid fuel breakdown as compared to return style systems.

the major disadvantage of a returnLESS setup is that if you have a very efficiently responsive engine, you may have lean spikes on quick tip in's, it often requires more pumping capacity for a returnLESS setup as compared to a return style setup

most of your higher HP engines run return style fuel systems

there is no 'better' of the two just depends on what your trying to do
