The Blue is a run of the mill pump, that I would not use for running nitrous. I know people that do, and I also know people that have replaced motors using a Blue. Me included. (Moroso does make an aftermarket spring for the Blue that iwill increase pressure and volume) If you run N2O I would highly recommend something like a Mallory 140. Use two regulators, one on the N2O side and one on the carb side. Set each for about 6 pounds. Use a fairly good size line from the pump, into a "Y" block, and then run one side to the carb, the other to the fuel solenoid thru the regulators. Also use good wire, and a fairly hefty gauge. Solder all connection, and use shrink tubing over the joint. The reason here is because if the wire and connection is not adequate, the pump will slow and may cause a lean out. Keep the pump as low as you can when you install it, because electric pumps are gravity fed. They push...do not pull. I have been running nitrous for about 6 years now, and have had my share of mishaps. One because I got a bit too greedy, and ran too much. Another due to the pump. The small block carburated Ford with a carb, always runs a bit lean on the number one hole, because of the runner lenght, so always look at the number one after each pass. Find a plug that has a short, wide ground strap. A long thin electrode acts like a diesel's glow plug and can cause detonation. If you can't find one, trim it, file it down a bit, and use that one. Just some precautions.
