Nozzle kits use a nozzle that inject fuel/nitrous, nozzles are usually good up to a 175-200 **** max. The plate system mounts up close to the TB and is a better delivery of nitrous. Plate kits are more capable of hitting bigger shots 200+. Plate system is superior to nozzle, looks cleaner, but a little more expensive.

What we really need to know is what is your budget and how much are you looking to spray or how fast do you wanna go?

It all depends on how much you want to spray. The nozzle will usually do fine up to 150hp jetting. After 150 we usually recommend that you go with the plate system.

The plate system will atomize the nitrous and the fuel a whole lot better than the nozzle will. The plate is also capable of shot into the 300 range as long you have the supporting modifications to support it.

What is your goal with the car?? how much do you want to spray??

Yeah at that level a plate would definitely be better. Have you ever looked into direct ports??
