Default Changing nozzles on my 5177 kit, which ones?

Fixing to change the location of my nozzles in my NOS 5177 kit from the default location on the side of the airbox to the neck, to try and achieve a better a/f ratio on the hit, as well as a fatter sustained a/f. I am needing some 90* or 70* nozzles. I have found these diff ones that could possibly work. I am sure you N2O gurus know off the top of your heads which ones will thread in.

BTW, I have a wideband on the way that will allow me to see what works the best as far as two 90s/70s, or one 90/70 and one straight shooter. A/F as of now is 12.8, after the intial lean spike. I am hoping to eliminate the lean spike and get the sustained a/f safer so I can FINALLY spray this thing and see how it feels

All of these have 1/16 in. npt threads, but, is that what I need to fit the lines the 5177 came with?

These look nice, but DAMN they arent cheap!

Looks like these would work as well.

This looks very close to what I have now, except this is a 90.

I am partial to the NX Dry Nozzles, 1/8 NPT, they are big and stick into the airstream a bit further than the 1/16 NPT nozzles I tried, plus they are indexed so you know where they are pointed (the NX on the Nozzle is the spray side).

The NX nozzle are trick looking, however, if they are aluminum then they will deteriorate after a while. The reason is the cold spray causes condensation and then aluim will come up with the white paste' oxidation, ask me how I know. This is the reason I only run SS nozzles now, and the Harris nozzles are a great bargain and should work fine.
