Nice tank. So, a couple of questions: What size shot are you going to be running with the boost or are you getting rid of the blower? Are you going to run a high pressure fuel system or low pressure off of the dedicated?
BTW, run non projected tips with ANY nitrous shot.

ok im keeping the blower set at 8-9lbs right now, and want to work up to a 100 shot maybe bigger depending on how it reacts with the alky . i run e85 in my gas tank for everyday driving for the last year and i will be putting e98 in my stand alone.
as of the fuel im torn on what to do cause i got the stand alone system which im dedicating to the n20 system but was thinking about taping it also for extra fuel since im running out of pump (255 is beyond maxed out right now). i was thinking about maybe doing a dual intank set up with this stand alone but dont really want to convert to a return style system what do you think?
and i run ngk tr6 plugs will that be ok for this set up?

tr6 is usually found in less than 500-600 hp or so some say , ive done alot of searching on this recently
stock heads need a taper seat plug iirc here is a little useful info on plugs
id go with the br7ef for your setup . some plugs have problems with etc(drive by wire) cars so sometimes they wont work , sometimes they do weird stuff like random misfires . u just need to find one that will work for you
i ordered some br7es for mine today (uses a gasket seat for trickflow heads) but from all the calls and hours i looked today they can use both gasket and taper . so i just hope my plugs work ok . i would have gone to the next step colder but i dont strictly race this and do alot of cold starts.
sorry for the hijack , im great at that lately.

i ordered some br7es for mine today (uses a gasket seat for trickflow heads) but from all the calls and hours i looked today they can use both gasket and taper . so i just hope my plugs work ok . i would have gone to the next step colder but i dont strictly race this and do alot of cold starts.
sorry for the hijack , im great at that lately.

you dont have to but may be safer to run a bit cooler of a plug . i have been running tr6's until now @ 15 psi and about 1000 crank hp.
no problems but lets see what happens with the new plugs.
imo tr6 will be work just fine but it does have a projected tip . some run them on nitrous but most will say as kevin , non projected tips for nitrous.
also most of these plugs are dirt cheap , i paid 18 shipped on a set to give you an idea. they have the tr7ix ( iridium plug ) that are the like of tr7's but cost like 60 a set. supposed to last quite a bit longer though. ive never used iridiums , id rather have new plugs all the time (every oil change now ) and glad im a lucky one with a twin turbo that plugs are all relatively easy to change.

Looking forward to getting some install pics for the store. 
NON projected for nitrous is solid sound advice.
