Hey Guys,

I talked to my tuner today and we are going to be doing a shot of nitrous on my setup a little down the road. I see about 18-20psi out of my V7 JT and I also run a Paxton FMIC and an AIS 50/50 meth kit. I was reading a lot about nitrous kits and was leaning towards the NX Plate kit system. My tuner advised me that he wants to do a nozzle setup because the plate will raise my fuel pressure beyond his comfort with tuning the car. We are going to start with a 50 shot and are either going Zex or NX. I just wanted to see if anybody else has heard of a plate kit raising your fuel pressure or has first hand experience with this? I have complete trust in my tuner, but havent heard of this or read anything about this in the past. We are going to run all the safety bells and whistles as well.

A dry plate kit only sprays nitrous so it needs to add fuel via the injectors by increasing the fuel pressure. I'm not sure if the only plate kits available for you application are dry but it sounds like your choices are limited. Maybe he's worried that the regulator will have trouble maintaining the higher fuel pressure with your current set up or the injector flow/dwell would be a little to close for comfort.

From what I was aware we are going with a wet kit so I'm not sure why fuel would even be a concern. I'll have to get more info and report back.

Wet or dry fuel is THE main concern. He wants to go with a wet nozzle kit because I assume there are no wet plate kits, or at least one's he trusts, (wet needs time to aerate and can puddle up if injected to close in the intake stream) and he has concerns with a dry kit taxing the fuel pressure in one way or another.

yep, I just spoke w/ him and he only suggests wet kits. The only thing that threw me off is how a plate kit vs a nozzle kit (both wet) how a plate would effect fuel pressure

The issue with a wet plate is fuel puddling in the intake. That's why they probably are t even made. It's a concern with any wet kit but a 50 shot is minimal risk

makes sense, especially since I'm already running meth I can imagine his concern.

I think you consult again your Tuner for the better working of your Nitro. Also should ask the timing of pulling it because its make far better the speed of vehicle. For safety, also discuss the material of cylinder.
