Exclamation which nitrous plate for my Vic Jr?

I need a good plate to compliment my accufab 4bbl and Vic Jr setup but cant figure out which one is better:

Nitrous Express 4150 4-BBL PROPOWER
[no vid]
or
Zex Perimeter Plate

I need some feedback on either plates and would like to know which one out performs the other, Im planning to spray 180 wet max. Thanks

I have the Zex perimeter plate and have sprayed up to 250 on it... I like the results, but can't really compare to any others... plugs all burn evenly, I can say that much!

NX makes great plates for the money. I ran one of their cheaper kits(the 4150 hitman), and we're installing one of the bigger plates on a customer's car right now. For the money they can't be beat.

If you have the cash, Wilson and Speed Tech are THE ****.

what would be a good duel stage plate for the victor? Nx only I was reading some where that the plate that sprays around the outside missed some of the runners.

That perimeter spray plate has been a big hit with the fords that commonly have issues with the corner cylinders and leaning out...It solved the problem for alot of guys running big shots through plates.

I have used the NX plate on many of these set ups. BLK02WS6 has been using the zex plate for a along time now with nothing but great results. I have talk to others that have had great results with the ZEx plate as well. Just make sure what ever you go with you flow it on the intake.

Check Noyzee out, he was running a perimeter plate, IIRC, and had some issues until he flowed it. Seems after his tuning of the plate he ran well. My vote would be for a perimeter style plate. Them Vic Jr's are bad azz intakes, though I want to trade mine in on the Super Vic. Anyone running one yet? The single plane intakes are really starting to take off.

That's one of those " If you have to ask, you can't afford it" It's some top of the line stuff.

He problably ran nitrous through it while it was off the motor, and noticed that it wasnt coming out uniformly. I remember some poeple having issues with running a "T" versues using a "Y" fitting to split up the nitrous before the plate. When they used a "T" the nitrous would favor one side of the plate, But switching to a Y fixed it.

I think thats what i remember reading, but i could be wrong.

We just tested the ZEX plate using it only as a dry plate
100HP setting netted 88RWHP threw an A4/12-Bolt

We were pretty happy with this result...

you are correct. im very happy with my set up. the nx kit seems to work well. i did a few tweeks to my vic as well to make it work a bit better. it works well, but with some porting i got it better
