Nozzle/Plate help needed ok.....i bought a used Nos single nozzle wet kit. It has a fogger nozzle and i found out that it is only good for 125 shot. I only plan on running a 100 shot but i know after i get comfortable with the spray i will probably work my way up to a 150 shot. Here are my questions....
1. Should i just buy a new single nozzle that is rated for a bigger hit? I just dont want to install my current nozzle and then have to replace it later. I would like to do it right the first time.
2. I have been looking at the plates and i really like them a lot! I would like to know if it is worth it to buy a plate instead of a new nozzle? I seen the vid of the HSW plate and it looks sick.
So what do you guys think?
Thanks

You can convert to a plate system when you decide to upgrade, I think Nitro Daves conversion kit is $225 or so. Matt @ HSW is coming out with a plate as well. Not sure if the NOS plate can be bought as a "Conversion", shoot one of the Nitrous Outlet guys or Matt @ HSW a PM on what they have (or will have) available this season.

But do you think it is worth it to get rid of my nozzle for a plate?
If what your doing now is working for you, I would stay with what you have. Being you already have the nozzle hole in the air duct, I would probably just upgrade the nozzle and jets when you go bigger.

It wont be installed for at least a month or two. I'm trying to get everything together first.
So thats why i'm thinking about getting a plate
If its not installed yet I would do the plate. 
I guess the major factor is what you want the final install to look like and what size shot your looking to support, as well as how much you want to spend.

And i'm sure i will never spray over a 150 shot. Most of the time i will be spraying about a 100 shot. The plate just looks soooo much cleaner than a nozzle.
I like the way the HSW plate delivers.....i didnt see it on their site though. Maybe i'll just wait for the hsw plate to come out

A plate kit will give you a much cleaner install over a nozzle, it will also give slightly better distribution due to having multiple distribution points.
You can get a different nozzle for ~$50 compared to $2-250 for a plate. At the 1-150hp power level will see almost no difference in power or distribution.

a while back a member did a complete side by side test of all the nozzle's out there...the concensus was they were all close enough to each other in power made to not make that much difference. Any of the nozzles will make almost the same power.
What I would look for is on that will use the same style jets that you already have.
You will need one that uses NOS style jets, or you will need new jets also.

Do you happen to know what is the max shot i can use on the NOS fogger nozzle(black)??
If i dont have to buy a new nozzle i wont. I just thought the nos fogger could only handle a 125 shot
I bought the ZEX kit and then Dave's plate came out prior to my install. I jumped all over that and never looked back!! Nozzle, Schmozzle!!!
Seriously, if it a clean install you're looking for, you don't want to go drilling holes in your air bridge or MAF or whatever, having to tap them for the threaded nozzle and worrying about nozzle placement, direction, etc. With a plate, you know it's done right.
Good luck!
