Should the nitro dave plate system make a noise? Yeah I have the plate system and it seems to make a kinda whistling noise under accelartion when I am not spraying the nitrous. Anyone else have this? Is this normal? Thanks.
I would check the intake track, and make sure everything is tight, the air duct, air coupler, the air filter etc...did you torque the throttle body bolts correctly? Does it run ok and the whistle is present or is running crappy (like a vaccum leak?).
Make sure the air coupler was trimmed to reflect the distance shortened by the addition of the plate. Also make sure it is sealed around the throttle body (feel it all the way around it, it may look ok from the top, but the bottom may be screwed up).

According to the NOS plate instructions I recommended to ya which has very detailed Corvette instruction...

mine does it through the midrange and only under civilized driving. assumed it was normal as the incomming air passed over the nitrous/fuel ports in the plate.(like a whistle) also thought it was my waterpump bearing going out for a little bit as thats got a small leak that i cant seem to find and need to replace.
I have never really payed attention to that. But it does make since that it may whistle allittle.I have heard that with throttle body spacers in the past also.
Its probley the air cutting across the discharge holes.

Check for air leaks, if all is tight and sealed just might be air harmoics. Now since yall moved the t-body foward and have a larger plenium you might just be hearing the air ressants and X rpm.
