direct or MAF kit on Fast 90/90? I was told that you can not run a MAF kit on the FAST because the front two ports pull a lot of the shot and will unbalance and lean the cylinders out.
Anyone have opinions or facts on this comment?
I have a Nitrous Express MAF kit. I ran a 125 shot on my stock engine and
never had a problem w/it. Now, I have the engine in the sig and I want to put the same kit on, but don't plan to go over a 150 shot.
Will it work?

When you installed your FAST intake, did you keep the coolant crossover tubes installed or did you install blockoffs in the back? I'm asking because the issue doesn't seem so much to be lean/rich, just hot. The concensus now is that the back cylinders are hotter due to stagnant flow spots in the coolant from the back coolant ports blocked off.
I blocked them off when I first installed my FAST 90/90. I currently have the intake pulled, reinstalling some cooling lines.
I would think the maf kit would be fine, comparable to a TB plate kit.

You will not have any issues with our maf setup. That is in my opinion the best setup you can run. It is the super clean and it injects the nitrous as far forward as possible on a MAF car running a wet kit. When I put nitrous on my personal car again it will it will be a MAF setup.
But if your wanting the look of a direct port or going to consider a big enough shot We have a great special going on right now.

At a 150 hp the maff kit will work just fine. If you have an upgraded mass air meter to match the larger throttle body and have the ls1 2 piece style unit it will not work. You will have to go back to your old mass air meter.
The maff kit is nothing more than a clean dual nozzle set up. So its basically like taking a dual nozzle kit and plumbing them into the bellows. The mass air replacement ends use the same discharge design as the NX shark nozzles. However the maff kit looks cleaner than dual nozzles in my opinion.
Back in the day before we released our LSX and LTX injection plates we installed and tuned alot of cars with the maff kit. At your power level it will work just fine. If you have an upgraded maff and dont want to step backwards get our Nitrous plate.
I would not go directport at your power level. Instead I would take the money saved and put it towards something else.

My thing is that the direct port will disperse things equally, but the previous posters are saying its all good w/the MAF kit. I like the idea of a direct port for safety. Since I have the rest of the system, might be nice to just p/u the direct port parts for the intake. Every time I try and save money it costs me three times as much later.

I would just stick with the MAF kit and put the rest of the money in some traction/suspension aides. 131mph is impressive, but the low 11 is kinda slow for your set up. get that thing to hook and your looking at low 10's na!
