i am ready to finally add a 100-125HP nitrous shot to my 350HO...w/vortecs, 268xe, holley 600 v/c, RPM, unilite, flowtechs to flows, TH350 to 3.42 posi.
a couple of speed guys were telling me to up my carb to a 750v/c and add a 70gph pump....another told me to add an electric pump and a 5/8 line.
will my unilite be ok with such a simple nitrous set-up?
any experienced nitrous guys and penix....i'd love to hear from you!

Why would you need to up your carb size to run nitrous? You wouldn't.
Nitrous systmes supply it's own air and fuel.

mark,
i have no idea why the "veteran" speed guy told me to up my 600v/c to a 750 v/c.he also said i would have to get my fuel line to a 5/8. he also said that a mech pump pushing 70gph would be ok.is this true?

It might be okay, but I woudldn't run it that way. Keep you fuel system for you engine the way it is with you mechanical fuel pump. Run another fuel line and supply the nitrous plate with a electric fuel pump. This will insure enough fuel, and consitant fuel.
Mechanical pumps don't pump consitantly, your engine still runs fine because it has a steady fuel supply from you carb bowls. 3/8" line for you nitrous fuel supply should work fine.

I agree with Mark about the Fuel system. Electric dedicated pump for anything 100hp+.
I also believe the 750 would wake that motor up, particularly on spray. J.M.O.
