Single nozzle vs plate system
when you want to go faster! haha
my understanding is this, a plate wont necessarily make any more power than a nozzle. but it does distribute the nitrous and fuel better and generally they can support more power than a single nozzle. they also hit harder than a nozzle.

I am not a huge fan of the single nozzle. Regular behind the TB plate works good to about 175 hp, after that you really need to go to a DP to safely distribute any more.
Plus, you can now tune each hole individually giving you the ability to run a higher level of power safely.

I actually bought a 2 stage nitrous kit with 2 nozzles and it was a waste of money on my part. The nozzles kept turning in the boot and the spray pattern was never right. I ended up buying a 2 stage plate a week later and never looked back.
I wasn't a 2 stager like 87silverbullet, but my single nozzle did have a tendency to turn up or down in the bellow. Plus the plate system helps with aesthetics as well. They just clean up the engine bay better. I bought the 78mm plate and have to say I like it a whole lot more than a nozzle.

Verdad Gallardo Will it flow that much, yeah probably. would I trust it to deistibute evenly to all cylinders being a behind the TB plate deisgn that is dependant on the intake to do the distribution? Hell no.
Plates, I think, are the only way to go.
The plate isn't really a limiting factor. It's the intake. IIRC the Nitro Dave's LT1 plate will flow up to a 400HP shot, but the design of the intake is what will limit you to a 200 shot or MAYBE 250.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Plates are nice, I have one in the back seat of my GTO awaiting install....but single nozzles have worked for MANY people for a LONG time. I understand why some plates distribute better.....but a nozzle, installed correctly, can distribute well enough to leave you with no worries up to a 150 shot (and often more). I have had single nozzles on more than one car spraying up to a 175 shot and I've never had an issue.

Switching from a nozzle to a plate really cleans up the installation of the kit, especially if you do it right (hardlines, etc). Also, they're right about flowing more. I wouldn't really want to put 200 through a nozzle, but I'd feel comfortable doing 200-300 through a plate with a proper tune.

Thanks for all the input guys. I have a Nitrous Pro Flow kit and have been spraying a 150 shot through a nozzle for the past few months but I want to go with a 200. I have really been looking to upgrade to a Nitro Dave 92 mm plate. I have the 42# injectors with a Walbro 255 fuel pump and have not seen any fuel problems just yet but with the amount of power I am making I have been told I am kind of pushing it on my setup. What do you guys think I should do? Run dual Walbro's or possibly go with the dedicated fuel system? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
