nozzle vs plate, which is for me so as the title says is there any benefit going from a wet nozzle to a plate? the main things i wanna know are will it possibley gain some rwhp through better distribution. what about rwtq? maybe the ability to actually spray more nitrous and bump up the shot? and will it hit any harder than a nozzle? im just tryn to convince myself to change over to a plate and i need a little reasoning from someone with some first hand experience.
and maybe give me some pros and cons of each so the good and bad of both are understood

No con's to a plate. Cleaner, better distribution, more flow.
They can definitely spray more safely. The only power you are going to pick up per say from distribution is if you had to soften the tune up to keep cylinders alive.
You are simply better off with a plate. But to add, not all plate are created equally. There are definitely better designs than others.

Hardly a guru. Just another Gearhead who got a lucky job occupation.
I wouldn't run more than 100-125 with that NOS plate.
Same jet, same converter, same gears, same tires, same truck, I picked up a little 60' and mph with the plate over the nozzle. Of course track conditions may have played a roll also but conditions were similar...Plus it sounds cooler when I bang it through the motor with the plate (LOL) since plates do hit harder initially than a nozzle

IMO, I would treat that plate as a nozzle as far as distribution. If you are looking for a "better" option or to go above the 150hp, then I would consider our plate. If not stick with what you have. It will work for what you would need at smaller shots.
