So wait...you're saying his setup is radical because of a 4400 "stall" converter, that he pulls a boat with and puts 10,000 miles a year on with a simple plate kit...but you're asking about putting a tunnel ram with a fogger on your truck?

C'mon man. Tyler's truck is a simple as it gets. Nothing high dollar, nothing fancy. Just stuff that's proven to work

Dont spend a bunch of money before you even race it, start small race it and learn as you go. Everyone has a different idea of what works. I build then to go as fast as they can na then just add n20 on top of it, people tell me its dumb all the time but it works, plus your not blowing through a 10lb bottle on every pass cause your using less n20.

Didn't know he was running that converter with that cam.i wasn't talking about my truck, just on your thoughts on which intake and setup would work best for nitrous with your atomizing theory. I was trying to pick your brain not bash Tyler's truck. Wish I could still tow with mine just too scared with my boat. Where I'm at atleast in my head is to use a simple plate kit and run my tbss intake until I'm ready for a fresh motor.

i watched a video not long ago where they took 3 cams from comp cams. their "mild" nitrous cam, their "race" nitrous cam and a "race" N/A cam.

on the same size shot, the N/A cam made more N/A power and also put down larger numbers on nitrous.

A fogger is always going to be the best option. It gives you control(fueling) over each individual cylinder, able to spray more nitrous, etc... But, it comes at a pretty steep cost. Anywhere from $800-1500 to buy the equipment from a vendor and then have them install it on the intake. Usually with one set of jets. Then to have multiple tune ups you have to buy 16 jets at a time(unless you do a dry fogger of course). Jets aren't cheap. $2-5 each.

A plate is cheap, easy, and it works. Install it yourself in your drive way with simple hand tools, 1 set of solenoids, BOOM it works. Down sides...our engines don't have the best distribution with any available out of the box intake. It takes some careful tuning to spray a decent amount of nitrous. A cross bar like we have on Tyler's truck works really well because nitrous is coming in from both directions and it just fogs the intake.

If I were going to do nitrous and had the money, I'd have a super vic, with a fogger installed from monte smith or induction solutions that's been blue printed and flowed with starting tune ups ready to go

Any idea were you saw this? I would be interested to see this being it go's with my theory, did they happen to give out specs?
