I know this queston has been asked to deth, but I can't seam to find the answer I'm looking for. lol
If I do it, I'm thinking of a stand alone 105 octane fuel supply for the 100 wet shot, but how big of a fuel pump will it need? And any recomendations of nitrous brands.

nx wet kit is my favorite
what kind of pump do you have now? you will probably be ok with just that pump. tap the fuel rail to feed your wet nitrous kit. put a t right there so you can hit a fuel presure gauge and give it a try. watch that fuel presure.
you might try turning up the meth most of the way and tuning the truck for that before you start. that will free up some fuel from your pump that can go toward the nitrous.
on my last truck i had an lq4 with a whipple at 10psi and a 100shot and i never lost any fuel presure even up top. i only ran it a few days this way but it was prety cool out when i did it and i had pleanty of fuel. i was running a 340m inline pump along with the stock intank pump.
if you really want to do a seperate fuel system you could go with a 340m pump but you will want to do it as a complete fuel system with a feed line and return line and regulator. if you are going to do a seperate fuel system i would just go ahead and fill that thing with the best gas you can find. you wont use much of it at all. se if you can find some c16 or whatever brand they sell around you. you wont use but a gallon or so per bottle of nitrous.

I have a 255lb in tank unit now, but I would like to run a stand alone sytem just for the race gas KR help, and so I don't have to worry about my in tank pump.
So you think the intank 255 unit will be able to handle the nitrous supply too?
I have my meth kit turned all the way up now, but I hope I can turn it down alittle when I get the FMIC. or maybe I'll go twin meth nozzles, just seams like a lot of meth for a stock lq4. (wich I hope will be a 408 soon).

you should put a gage or log your fuel presure for what you are trying to do but yes i think that pump will be enough to do both. like you said though the race gas in the 2nd tank is a nice feature.
i dont think you can flow too much meth with just one nozle. your not going thru very much are ya?
