I am wondering how bad it would be to have the juice spray on a angle toward the air filter?? would it work as effective? this sucks....

I fog my airbox from the SAIR tube. It doesn't have to be pointed directly at it. You just need to fill the box up with N20. It isn't going to go anywhere but into the motor.

so if it does spray on an angle it doesnt matter if it hits the air filter. i figured it will all get sucked up there anyway, at fulol throttle pullin that hard it should all get sucked up. right...

Just make shure it gets into the box. Don't spray rite at the filter or bottom. It could even point foward away from the MAF. It will still get sucked up.

Thanks for all the helpful hints BMN. i hope it just still kicks like it use to. i think it should work out fine.. i think i might take your advise and point it away from the mass air cause atleast there its not pointing down on the filter.. thanks again..

No prob, I talked to a bunch of people about the way I wanted to fill up my airbox. Almost every one said no matter what angle it was pointed it made so noticable difference even on the dyno. Have fun, let us know how it turns out.

I don't have a lid but with FIPK, I spray from the front, side by side with #38s (125)shot. Getting good results.
