I think i might have made an error in judgment and now i am trying to correct it. What happened was i was running lean a few months back so i stupidly purchased a walbro 255, the stupid part is that i didnt know that there was a difference between a hp and an lp. Well it was an hp. The car is running like a beast now but i am having idle problems and stalling problems becasue of the FPR. I just ordered the machv Aeromotive FPR( the badass one).

I have 2 setups that i am currently deciding on, running a 20g with hks 264's and other supporting mods, or a 16g, 264's and 75 shot of nitrous. My question is will i need the 255hp and the 280$ FPR? Or should i sell both, get a 190lph 650's and a s-afc? or will i run out of fuel for the 20g setup. Sorry about the long post. thanks!
 
If it was me, I would keep the FPR and the 255HP, but still purchase the AFC and injector's. I wouldn't advise using the stock injector's with a either a 16g or 20g setup.
 
the 255 hp and lp are the same until your running about 30 psi. You should get the 20g and get 272's. You will make as much power as with a bottle but you will not need to hurt your rods with rod shock. The power will also always be available. Your going to need 660's as well. You can actually tune out a walbro 255 with an safc, it won't be perfect but it will be alot better.
