Default Meth solenoid location

i have several options on where to mount my holley meth solenoid. I originally chose near the throttle so the meth could atomize best, then saw i have options on the back of the blower that seem like more of a direct path to the intercooler. Which would you choose and why? Dont mind the mess. The car has been under the knife for almost 4 years now.

Is there still a nozzle on the end?

If you do post throttlebody then be sure you have a check valve or the vac will suck the meth in when it’s not spraying. Personally I would want it to be atomized prior to hitting the rotors.

Wont the solenoid stop that from happening? I would run a nozzle for sure reguardless of where you put it.

the term solenoid confused me as well. The Holley meth solenoid works more as an injector than a nitrous solenoid. It is controlled by one of the injector drivers in my dominator efi ecu. I will be able to flow meth based on percentages of total injector flow (up to 1,000cc/min). If I decide I need more, I can buy up to 3 solenoids to flow up to 3,000cc/min.

since it's tied into dominator efi, I can flow an exact percentage of meth vs. the total percentage of fuel flow present at any RPM and load. I can also use IAT values to determine if meth is necessary or not.

the solenoid should stop it from happening, but I left the check valve in place anyways.
