2011+ GT Nitrous Plate Vs. Traditional Wet Nozzles?

[slvr08gt]

Can someone explain to me the benefits of the plate kit opposed to a normal wet nozzle kit? Im fully aware that the plate kit is pretty much a plug and play kit along with a new tune ofcourse. I need to know what seperates the two different types of kits along the lines of perforamnce. Does the plate kit offer a better/cleaner spray pattern opposed to the wet nozzle? Does the plate kit hit harder than a wet nozzle because the plate is further down stream than a normal wet nozzle? Basically, is there any performance benefits to the plate kit besides a cleaner install and a extra $300 bucks???

Im asking because I would like to pull the trigger on a kit soon and would like to know if a traditional wet nozzle kit performs similar to the plate kit. If it does perform very similar then I would like to use the $300 somewhere else. Thanks in adavnce!

not only does a plate kit look better.. its more efficient at atomizing the fuel and nitrous. given the choice of plate vs nozzle ill choose plate every single time.

Nick,

At a 150 hp there will be no performance difference between a properly designed nozzle and a properly designed plate.

Our plate will start out shining the nozzle at higher hp levels. The attomization and discharge pattern start becoming more important at higher hp levels due to the increase of volume into the intake plenum.

In the LSX world we have customers using our plates for 300 and 400 hp. In the LX market we have customers doing 250 to 300hp with our plates. We are just now starting to focus on the ford market and our plate design for the ford plates uses the same technology as our other plate designs. Its a proven design and thats why our product out performs the competition.

Now im not saying strap a plate on your car and spray 300 and 400 hp. The tuning process at these power levels are much more criticle and we do not suggest these power levels with out the correct components and tuning knowledge.

Agreed. Looks dont mean that much to me though.

Does anyone on here know of anyone spraying the 5.0 without a plate kit?

Just the answer I was looking for Dave! Thanks! Quick question, how far fron the TB should the nozzle be placed?

 

[Nitro Dave]

In the beginning thats all anyone was using. Because there was no plates available.

How much are you looking to spray?

Between 125-150

Nick,
About 3 to 4 inches before the throttle body. You just need enough time for the single discharge to attomize into the airstream before entering the intake plenum.

A nozzle will get it done all day long.

Thanks for all of the quick replys Dave! You guys rock!

No problem. Let us know if you need any tech help. Do it right, tune it correctly and you will have great results.

i spray a 100 through a zex nozzle. i like it and it hits kinda hard for a nozzle. now if/when i go bigger i would rather buy a plate. my wife bought me my zex blackout kit for my bday so i cant complain. esp with the ease of installation of the zex kit.

Thanks for sharing. Any pics of the installation by chance?

You cant say that ose is better than another, as there are good and bad of both. I dont have any personal experience with these plates, but I can tell you that there is a huge difference between an NX Shark nozzle and a piece of shit NOS nozzle.

Either way, youre risking uneven distribution. The IM isnt designed to have anything spraying into it, so you just have to hope its not all just piling into a few cylinders in particular.
Im not sure if Ill ever spray on my '11, but with an expensive engine like this the only way I would is with a direct port setup.

This cars love the chemical. 150 on the nozzle can be pushed all day long with the proper tune and user setup. Above 150 then you go with the plate. The Nozzle/plate are more homogenous, which equals harder acceleration.

Nitro Dave is right on and I wish his product was out before I bought my ZEX kit.

YOu can always upgrade. ;-)

Dave, any update on the stock fuel pressure for the 11+ 5.0's??
