You dont NEED a fuel pressure regulator, and you dont NEED a fuel pump. But, either or could help you out in the long run. If you get the fuel pressure regulator, you could adjust your fuel to your own setting, if you go with the fuel pump, you could push more fuel than the stock one could where you might need it the most. They both could help you out, just as long as you get it tuned to your specs at a shop.

it depends on how big the shot it is recommended that you get a new fuel filter and look into a new fuel pump but that is only if you are going more than a 100 shot

what shot are you planning on running, what brand and what kind (ie. dry or wet)?

Zex is the way to go for most applications and it is the saest by far most other ones you have to use a push button you can run the risk of overheating the engine and possible extreme damge to the pistons and seals

I'd get a fpr 1st for only a 75shot. If you were to go higher, i'd get a fpr and a new fuel pump.

pshhh.. why not just get a wet kit? Zex has an awesome K&N filter thing for a CAI or short ram that has a plug on the end for the nozzel. Apparently it makes higher HP gains than just drilling a hole in teh stock intake.

thats cause the intake that Zex makes that your talking about sprays into the filter and goes in the intake and when you gas it it makes the NOS into a vortex sort of like the tornado thingy but not exactly

but i would get the filter like ghost is talking about and also invest in the fuel pump as well, listen to dcsquirm cause he's knows

fuel filter replacement is also a good idea too

with a zex dry 75 shot YOU DON'T NEED A FUEL PUMP OR FPR

anything above a 75 shot YOU WILL NEED FUEL PUMP, BIGGER INJECTORS AND FPR......

This guy should know 1st hand. I'd listen to him. He is the dry kit master.

Yeah I was aware of the theory behind the slight HP gains, but I think it's because the spray "pushes" the air intot he chamber faster than it would normally go, not that it "swirls" it.

A regular K&N filter would be like $50 brand new, so you figure it's basically a K&N filter with the end replaced with a nozzle for the N20, and I'm pretty sure it comes with the N20/fuel line for the filter also, so filter($50) + nozzle attachement($5) +3' line($10) + stupid increase for the zex brand name ($10)= $75
