Default Plate beneficial for 100-125 shot

I plan on spraying the car with a 125 shot max, which will make less power to the ground than most because of the thin air up here.

I figure it will about like a 100 shot at sea level.


Anyway, I like the idea of running a plate but not sure if it would be any better than normal jets for this relatively small shot?

I'm thinking of the HSW micro controller for the window switch and either a NO2 outlet or HSW wet shot.

THanks

Yes a plate will be more beneficial than a nozzel. A quality plate will do a better job of atomizing the fuel and n2o. It will make more power and hit harder. Enjoy!

So a 125 plate shot is more than a 125 "nozzle shot"?

I want a 125hp gain, to the tires lol. Does it matter how I hit there?

What about longevity, would a plate be any easier on the engine?

Thanks

This is the one I would recommend. The 125 jet is another $15 on top of this price. Their packages are rated at the wheels. With the plate set up you will have better gains vs putting it into the intake boot. It's good for another 5-10 hp with the plate set up.

You will also probably want the ashtray control box for the switches and the bracket to mount the bottle in the spare tire area. There's a possibility you will need to upgrade your fuel system too. The Racetronix is a good fuel pump to go with.

+1. Get a Racetronix fuel pump kit with a Walbro 255lph fuel pump.

Although this says 98-02, this one WILL work for your application.
