The biggest concern is the fuel system ability to keep pace w/both the carb requirements and the fuel side of the plate. If you run low on fuel pressure/volume, then you go lean and will hurt the motor very quickly. W/o NOS if you run out of fuel, the motor stumbles. As you go faster, the fuel supply volume, pressure, and tank pickups become issues real quick.

I am interested to hear ideas for supplying the fuel requirements, short of a dedicated line from the tank for these type of 'baby NOS/low budget' systems.

My gut tells me that if you skimp and go the low budget way ( particularly on fuel system ) then it will become an accident waiting to happen and become high budget very quickly w/a motor rebuild.
