we used a NOS name brand wet kit with the plate on an 86 fox with a stock 302. wasnt my car and the guy didnt do much research on the kit. for a few weekends it took a complete second of his 1/8 mile time(thats the only track we got close by)

after that i could stick my thumb through hole between two of the cylinder walls when the motor finally said it had enough

yeah like i said he didnt really look into how to size the jets he just through some in lowered the timing and sprayed the piss out of it. i'm sure on your motor it wont end this way.

i think it is the best cause its a straight shot into the motor. also you should have some crazy gains with a good wet kit and doing the research on how to spray safely. i'm actually thinking about running the efi trickflow version o my car instead of a supercharger for a will just because its initial cost is a good bit lower.BUT be warned that nitrous does get pretty expensive in the long run. i believe its right at 30 bucks for a 10lb bottle around here and you'll prolly get about 6 GOOD passes with it depending on the shot

i might spray it a few times, but i think the engine mated to the t-56 and 3.73's im running will pull hard enough to satisfy me before i get ballsy and spray it...

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Cheater plates work great, and they are available for fuel injection manifolds. Fogger setups are obviously better because they spray closer to the cylinder head, but it's hard to run a small shot on a fogger setup. If you are running a carb, and you want a small shot of nitrous (under 200), then a cheater plate is your best option.

All that wont matter if your going to be spraying a large shot... half the time the block splits b4 the pistons go.
