Should I switch to a plate system?
Should I switch to a plate system? My question is whether or not it will be worth it to switch to a plate system over a nozzle system? I won't spray over 150 shot. Is it worth the money? Will I see any significant gains at the same size shot? I'm running a NX kit now with a shark nozzle. Should I just stay with what I have?
I asked a similar question a few days ago and this is what i was told......
"At the 150hp level you will see almost no difference in power or distribution."
So you should just stick with the nozzle it wont be worth the money to buy a plate. Unless you really want to pay the extra money.

This may be true, but the install will be much cleaner and you will eliminate a lot of the risk of pooling with the plate. IMOA

The clean install of the plate might be worth the extra cash
I am a big fan of the Wet Plate.
Dave has said that the Nozzle vs Plate is very close at the same jetting.
If you are happy with what you got I would stay with the nozzle. If you were looking to change some thing up, and had some spare cash, I would go with the plate.

The performance and or safety advantages of the plate over the nozzles have been debated here, w/out any real winner. I like the clean install of the plate, and how easy it is to make jet changes, etc. Is that worth $250? That's up to you.
I should be at BMP next thurs. if the weather is good, your welcome to check the plate out. We definately need to race a few times at DH4, our cars are pretty much running the same now. Probably be whoever gets the tree.

I bought the plate thinking I had distribution issues. I'm still glad I bought it It because it really seems to work much better that the dual nozzle's I had.
BTW. when I upgrade my engine in the future I can always sell the plate and get something bigger, It's not like It's ever going to wear out.
