Most will agree a DP is the safest way to spray larger shots, although there are quite a few running the Single Nozzle wet, MAF etc with 200. The single nozzle can only atomize so much effectively, so twin nozzle or Dual MAF would be better than a single. Theres also the debate of puddling in the intake, or more so, the scariness of it which pushes many to go to a DP. I personally like the DPs but will be running 200 on a Twin Nozzle setup for a little while. A DP can be set up for less than $2500 with stand alone fuel system so no way in hell does the $ justify going FI.

Actually.If you do not plan on going over a 200 I would do the single nozzle or maff kit.Directports are nice but alot off work and money.I have customers spraying 350 through single nozzle kits with no problem.

350 thru a single nozzle is a lot.

I prefer my NX MAF kit over my old NX DP setup for several reasons. One being that anytime I want to increase or decrease the shot I'm running, it only takes two jets instead of sixteen.

These guys race in classes that will not allow anything other than a single nozzle and two solenoids.
The nozzle is the SHO Nozzle.You are currect but if thats all you can use thats alll you can use. 200 or even 250 on the single nozzle is no biggie.

I have the bits to drill your nozzle out bigger if you want.
The single NOS#16000 solenoid will flow over 300hp pretty easily.
Your restriction is the nozzle.
