Default HSW plate?

How much of a difference does one of those plates that mount before your throttle body make compaired to just a (wet) nozzle in your intake make?

A little better distribution compared to a single nozzle. You won't pick up any additional power vs. a nozzle.

Thanks,
Matt

I switched from plate to nozzle. I wasnt look for a power gain (although there may have a been a little). I decided to go for a plate because i figured it to be safer due to more even distribution. If you want more power up the jets.

Did you mix that up? How are you going to get better distribution with a single nozzle over a plate?

On all our testing with the plates we have shown to pick up about 6hp NA by just bolting the plate on. I feel our plate makes for a sexier looking install over a single nozzle. On Higher hp levels the plate will distribute the mixture better than the single nozzle.
