I want to get away from dry kit. It seems like number 2 cylinder is getting most of the nitrous gas. It was a valve on number 2 cylinder that was broken after first use of nitrous. Then it was rod on number two cylinder. I'm just little too afraid to use nitrous again, but i need something before I can save up enough money to purchase turbo kit.
Do you know how many shots of nitours i can use on built engine (resleeved, forged pistons, after market valves etc)
Where did you tap your intake? Usually its the first cylinder that gets a little more flow than the others. You could go direct port, from the sound of it though, I would have someone do it that has done them before. I called NOS about upgrading from Dry to the plate system, and was quoted 500 for everything I would need. You have to change the solenoids, and the plates are specialy made.

It depends on the quality of the build but a 150 shot should be pie. There is always the direct port route. I ordered my nylon line from holley, which I should be able to use to replace the steel hardlines. If you are desperate for a plate kit you could look into tapping the middle piece of the manifold. If my install goes well I may look into making these for people anyway.

To close, most people are taping the intake manifold about 12-18 inches away from the TB, for best distribution of nitrous into each cylinder. I was also interested in upgrading to the plate system, but when I talked to a NOS rep, he said it would be 500 to upgrade, and 250 for DP. I am gonna ask again about the cost on the plate upgrade, but most likely DP is gonna be the way to go as far as cost goes. But ease of getting to the jets would be nice to. Oh well, no point in upgrading right now, 60 shot still feels awesome. Laughin, what did you mean by tap the middle of the intake?

Well, where would you tap the intake manifold if you could do it again? I am gonna have a performance shop handle mine, dont want to screw it up, to expensive for a new intake manifold. I say thats to close for our cars, our intake manifold isnt the best for equal distribution. By puting it farther back, its less likely for a single cylinder to get proportionally more nitrous than another.

1. I'd do it on the middle section, but I don't mind popping my motor in the name of progress.
2. I'd send it to NOS to get plumbed instead of an import shop.
3. That's why we say to keep it at or under a 75 shot.
4. It also increases the chances of fuel puddling and an explosion in the intake.
