if you have a good tuner, I'd use a dry system nozzle on the lt1 and use the maf to add fuel

The plate may be the way to go for applications above 150hp, the single nozzle works fine to 175hp. I had 175hp through a single nozzle on my Lt1 for a long while and never had any distrubution problems. I used a Shark Nitrous Express nozzle.

what size supply line where you using? -4 or -6? I've seen some systems pick-up just by changing to a -6 supply
I just did an LT1 with a 200 dry, I like dry systems for traction limited cars simply for smoother engagement.

this doesn't always work on the LTx....LTx dry kits work by increasing fuel pressure to force more fuel through the injectors. Now there are kits that will "trick" the PCM to add more fuel but I don't have any experience with those.

For the LTx it is hard to beat our plate kits....they are designed to give better distribution as the LTx breadbox is known for having problems with nozzle kits or some of the other plates on the market. Now this is with larger shots (above 150) and there are many people running up to 150 with no issues with a nozzle.

Also the plates just look better....

When I tune them I don't change the f/p just order a nozzle and solenoid and the the right size injectors, as far as the bread box the lt1 uses individual cylinder trim off idle, so you can correct any problems that may occur. The single nozzle is nice because its very easy to hide for those who don't want it to be seen

I do have to agree and the reason I ordered a kit Friday for my car.
