Im running this pump on my boat right now.
Ford 429/460 130+ GPH
Flows 130+ GPH Free Flow
Shutoff Pressure Pre-set from 7.5 to 9 PSI
Im going to put a 100 shot over the winter. Will this pump support and single 850 and the 100 shot? Or should i look into a bigger pump. I want to stick with the mech pump.

most nos companies do not recommend useing one pump for both, even if the pump is big enough. too hard to control fuel pressure to both at the same time with one pump, even with two regulators. get two pumps.

I agree. A sperate pump with a fuel psi overide switch is used by many. Instant death of any NOS engine is a fuel supply blurp.
Trick with setting fuel psi on nitrous fuel supply is to run electric pump dumping thru fuel jet into a container and set recommended psi that way. It will prob show a little higher with system deadheaded (de-activated) and engine running, but we are concerned about actual fuel psi when system is activated.
