Default DP fuel and nitrous distribution questions

I'm building a direct port system and I'm curious what everyone things. I really like the looks of the 4 rail nx systems but I see they make a 2 rail system while nos and tnt just use small distribution blocks. I know people are running huge shots through each system with good results. What makes one setup any better then the other? I found a place to buy the rails like nx uses for next to nothing. When comparing what NOS uses to what NX uses it seems like the big rails are overkill.

The rails aren't required with the NX systems, most use them because of how clean it makes the installation. The standard systems come with what NX calls the "HighTech Distribution Blocks" which are simialr to what NOS uses. I have some pics of a system plumbed with the High Tech blocks if you would like to see them. Aother option is the "Shower Head Distribution Blocks" which are pretty small and flow great. Any of these distribution set ups and get you the horsepower you want its really just a matter of personal choice. Most NX direct port systems come with the High Tech Blocks but the Shower Heads or Rails can be added. If you would like to see some pics of the other distribution blocks let me know and I can send you some. Thanks

Below is a link to a LT1 intake that is plumbed with a NX system uses the High Tech distribution blocks just to give you an idea of how they look. Thanks

That is a very nice looking set up! I would assume to do that on an ls1 you would need the holley intake manifold for that, so you can drill and tap for the nozzles.

There are plenty of direct port setups on LS1/LS6 intake manifolds.. All you do is drill/tap the holes and then epoxy the nozzles in. There are plenty of people using them without problems.

I've done some researching and it appears that the block style of TNT and NOS are better then the rails when it comes to equal distribution. It's a shame because the rails look so good.
