Maybe it's just me, but that post made no sense. What's the question?

I think he is asking how much horsepower can the stock fuel pump handle. Running a wet shot of nitrous is a little different than being N/A or having a power adder. I've seen guys run a 125 shot on stock fuel systems. Put an svt focus pump in it. It's good to 400-450rwhp on a forced induction car, so it should be able to handle a pretty decent shot of nitrous.

People use the stock pump on 150shots also, but even I think thats pushing it. My bolt on car with a 125shot has just a SVT focus pump upgrade and it give plenty of fuel. For a car like yours a SVT foci pump would do you just fine.

Direct swap out for your stock fuel pump and flows a lot more. Randy at the parts section can get you them for very cheap, under 100bucks shipped I believe they go for still.

definitely the way to go as long as you stay under 450rwhp it shouldn't ever have a problem.

You'll want to consider injectors too. I like moving to 24# units once you have heads/cams/intake done. Have you been to a dyno yet? If not, get there and get a proper tune on it. Box stock tunes from Diablo, SCT, etc... are never right on without a little dial in tweaking.
