Yes, I am. To me it was never a question if I should run it. Anything that works as a safety precaution for my engine is a requirement in my mind.

A/F and Fuel Pressure shut down works hand in hand...one does not replace the other.

With a FPSS only, you can have good fuel pressure but an incorrect A/F ratio. With A/f shut down only a drop in fuel pressure must cause the car to go lean before it shuts down.

I will be running both systems on my 94. A FPSS for both the main and dedicated fuel system, and the NOS launcher to control the nitrous kit and monitor a 2 channel wideband.

I'm not running one myself. Of course, I haven't won Nitro Dave's contest or come up with $700ish to blow.

A fuel pressure safety switch is only about $40 - $50.

Look at his mods; he was talking about a complete nitrous system.

Then why would he post in a thread obviously meant for people running a nitrous kit? Doesn't make sense...oh well my bad I guess.
