Default Direct Port or TB plate?

Choices choices.

Considering the options for a nitrous system on my iron block 6.0. Nothing silly, maybe 100shot.

How good are the TB plate systems? Is direct port better? If so, how much?

Just in the early stages of planning and interested in hearing thoughts.

For a 100 shot, no reason to go with a direct port setup. The plate systems are really good, and would be very reliable all the way up to a 200/250 shot.

For your goals there is nothing wrong with a plate system. We have a TON of customers spraying up to 200-250 on a plate system. The direct port system is obviously has even distribution between all the cylinders but for your 100hp goal there is no need to spend the extra money. - Matt

Can you even get an 8 cylinder direct port down to a 100 shot?
