interesting....anyone know of anyone that's done this???
just make sure you don't put the nozzle on the drivers side of the manifold like whoever made the one i have did (makes me wonder why they got rid of it) but put it on the passenger side. it's easier to get the fuel into the nozzle at that location anyways. you can see on the one i have, it's not like a tb spacer that has the vortex bs on the inside. it's purpose made to be a nitrous plate. the main reason people use spacers is on CARBURATED motors where there is increased plenum space added, a totally different concept than with our fuel injected bad *** motors.

NITROUS TB PLATE


ANOTHER PIC

Slowverado, that looks bad ****. Sorry to get off subject but I belive I noticed that you have a K&N brether filter where you pour in the engine oil, correct? What are the gains of doing this, and what does it do? just wondering because I have two of those little K&N filters just sitting here next to the computer. It looks cool.

as far as i know for us there really isn't much gain in doing it...other than it looks cool. i also have one just sitting around the shop so i threw it on when i put some different color valve covers on last time i swapped. i've heard how they help equalize crank case pressure or some crap like that but i have no hard facts on that. i'll look on the K&N site and see if it says anything and get back to ya.
