Default Is it worth it to go with a plate vs a single nozzle

Search is not working for me right now so I will just ask you.


Is it worth the extra money to get a plate kit to spray a 125 or 150 shot. I know the plate would be cleaner, but I just want to get a good reliable nitrous kit on the car. I am not going to spray over a 150 because I am on the stock bottom. Will a plate give me enough extra horses to justify the extra expense of a plate kit??

Thanks

I asked this question and the general answer was i should just stick with the nozzle since i only want to spray 100-150 shot. The gains would be very minimal....but it does look a lot better than a nozzle.

It does look very nice. That is 90% of the reason that I want it. I think it would be less likley to puddle the nitrous with the plate, but I don't think I need to worry about that with a 125 shot.

its really a matter of personal opinion. i've made the same RWHP nozzle vs. plate with the same jetting. i like the looks & neatness of the plate better though. the nozzle was just kinda a PITA, making sure it wasn't "turned wrong" and all that other ****.

i will say this about the plate. it gave me the best looking HP & TQ graph of any n2o dyno graph i have ever seen perfectly straight, no spikes, no dips, looks like its on motor, just with extra power :
