Default nozzle or plate

OK I already have the nozzle setup but been reading more and more into the plate do you guys think it's worth getting rid of the nozzle and getting a plate?

Not at all if you are just sticking to 100-150 shot. I'd just stick with what you got. So is the car finally ready?

Over 150 shot I would think a plate would be better. I went from a shark nozzle to a nitrous outlet plate with the same 100 shot and it hit way harder. Plus looks cool lol

If you are going to go above 200, I would start looking into a plate. Anything below that is mainly a visual preference, between the plate and the nozzle. There is a slight difference in distribution, but nothing that you will probably notice.

Yeah, if you plan on spraying more than 200-250 on the plate, I would upgrade to the lightning solenoids, other wise, you can keep the solenoids you have.

If it were me i'd just stick with your current nozzle setup, hit it with a 150 or so for right now, and just enjoy it! Your car even on a 150 shot will be a handful on the street, so i'd just stick with that for a bit, and then maybe upgrade later. Looking forward to seeing how your ride turns out
