shark nozzle placement? I'm installing a kit on my car and want to know if there is a specific measurement on how far in front of the TB to mount you're shark nozzle. If you have pictures please post are let me know your opinion. Thanks

I'm going to disagree with the above. People have been installing nozzles directly in the throttle body/carbs for decades without any problems. Nitrous/fuel mix will take place in the nozzle. Think about a direct port system. It's placed in the most down stream part of the runner of the manifold.

The reason to place nozzles up stream from the TB is that the nozzle discharge is in the shape of a cone. You want to give the nozzle time to fill the entire intake tube before entering the throttle body. This will help with distribution.
CORRECTLY designed plates, not all plates, will have a different style discharge that is designed to be behind the throttle body and the flow pattern is very different from that of a nozzle.
On the direct port, since it is placed in the intake runner the orifice it has to fill is much smaller.

GTBEWARE: To answer why - The MAF getting sprayed with a plume of fuel wouldn't good for the sensor. Not only that, but the MAF seeing the n2o will automatically adjust for the fuel requirement so no added fuel (from the wet nozzle) would be required. You'd end up with twice the fuel needed.

Ha ha! What a way to put it!
