t/b nitrous plates?
After discovering that I cannot mount the nozzle in my smoked/clear UPD intake, I was wondering if any companies make a throttle body spacer tapped for a NX shark nozzle? And if so, how thick are they (would the push the intake out over an inch?)

I haven't seen one todate. Why cant you spray in a clear upd?
Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to make a plate, just a few hairs thicker than the nozzle... but very much thickness would cause the UPD to hit the fan, unless you are running electric fans...

No company makes them, that I know of. You would have to make on yourself. When I was still into the juice I was considering making one. I have had juice kits with spray nozzles and plates. The plates always seem to hit harder.
In fact my buddy has done some testing. With the same size shot and car. The plate dropped ET but had a slower mph. We are talking about hunderdths but, it is still something.
The drawback with plates are that over a 300 shot it tends to run lean. At least that is what he said. I have never squeezed more than a 175. Although I don't think you will ever have a problem with that.

TNT Nitrous makes a kit for the ls1 camaro's that would work. I don't know if they have the plate for sale only. I have the ls1 kit on my truck and it works great if you have electric fans. If not you will have to modify the fan shroud.
