did you put a low fuel pressure cutoff on your car after your fuel pump took a crap? if so, which one did you get?

No not yet. I'm not sure I will either. I am going to put a fuel cell up front for the nitrous.

i'm putting my cell up front too. what difference would that make though?

I blew the fuseable link for the pump relay. I think taking some of the load off the rear pump will help. I talked with Steve Johnson about the fuel presure shut off and he said he doesn't use them, and that was good enough for me. I am also going to have the car rewired and I think that will help as well.

You do want to use relays on the fuel pump and noids, as 2 noids will pull about 12 to 18 amps when activated. The biggest repair issues I have is people running solenoids off of the plastic switch in the kit they buy or they want to use a little push button switch from Radio Shack made for 5 amps to activate the solenoids..
