I designed it for John...tested it on my own H/C/4000 stall Formula.....car usually netted me about 10hp over the Jet size because the atomization is so well. I tested 75/100/150 shots and they were very smooth and hit hard but not too hard that it felt like it was going to break something.

I'm a lil Biased, but it really is a good peice.

I just came upon these on Ebay also. I was kind of planning on going with NX maf upgrade kit to convert my wet kit, but this looks like a cheap alternative. I'm just a little leary seeing there isn't much feedback on them.

Also, were their any issues with the throttle linkage not being long enough?

It's a good peice, and I never had a problem with my throttle linkage....it's easy to call John up and ask him....

Bought some SFC's from him a while back, good guy to deal with. Was wondering if anyone had pics of this installed? Thanks.

I am curious, since you designed it how do you compensate for the additional 3/4in from the throttle bracket to the throttle???

I don't own that particular part, but I'm very impressed with the engineering involved with it. The nitrous/fuel will have to travel a lot less further before they entire the cylinders, and that will help to stop puddling in the intake. For that reason alone, I think it rocks!! All new technology is met with a degree of skepticism. Everyone is afraid to take a change.....not that I blame them, as somebody else's engineering mistake can cost YOU a lot of $$$$.

I have direct port now, but I was about to try that plate. The only reason I went direct is because I blew up my stock internal motor, and wanted a full time race car.

I remember an issue with nitrous plates on the TPI motors.. It was that with the plate design the mixture would not reach all the cylinders. (And therefore some cylinders got more..)


I wonder how this is addressed on the LS1 intake. I'm really contemplating it though.

If the palte is not desighned exactly right you are taking a chance of it not disributing the nitrous evenly to each cylinder.On the LS1 and LT1 the two front runners are right there.So if it does not distribute right is will skip the front cylinders.Im not saying this one is not desighned right.Just giving you something to think about.

The plate is a nice piece, but the supplied hardware sucks, throttle body bolts are too long, hose attachments are not the right size for nos jet??? still trying to figure out what to about the throttle cable being off 3/4 in

what would be the diffrence than any other kit that blew from the front like any dry kit? you would think anything that blew into the front would have the same results as having this plate in.

On the lt1 and the ls1 the front runners are right after the throttle body.My thinking is that if the plate does not spray the pattern at the right disbursment it will skip the front runners and hit the back.Thats why nX tells you to put the nozzle 3 inches before the throttle body.This gives it time to fan out and mix with the air flow.So know I disagree that basically having a nozzle directly infront of the runners is going to attomize as good as having it further back.Again this is just my thinking.I have seen these plates and they are a nice looking piece of work.I probley should have stayed out of this thread but I guess my mouth overloads my but sometimes.

i would be a little scared to run a full 300 on that system also. i like the idea of the N2O going through the TB first. also a single nozzle system i a pretty clean install if done right.

The fittings for the jets were perfect in the one I was shipped. Mine came in their original NX packaging. (PN 91017 x 2)

Try using the NX style jets instead of the NOS flare jets.
