Default Nitrous Fuel Pressure

After searching CC for info I have come up empty so here is the question for any and all CC engine gurus:
With a 100 HP shot nitrous system what fuel pressure is needed?

I have read posts about needing a dedicated fuel delivery system just for the nitrous and on my car that would be a ton of work, so the question that I need to answer is will it be worth it!!

Terry,
You can run a seperate fuel system for nitrous, do you really need to....No.
If you run the nitrous system with your normal fuel system you'll have to upgrade your fuel pump so to provide more pressure and volume.
Remember Pressure is one thing and Volume is another, you will need both.

NOTE:
You will need to check you Air/Fuel ratio on a dyno to make sure your not running LEAN when you use the nitrous!!!!!
