Default Plate system on Vic Jr. intake

Any benefit of going to a plate system with this intake besides looking clean? Possibly running a bigger "safer" shot since it supposedly eliminates the leaning out issues? Same jets from my nozzle will work right...What do you think guys?

I think that intake is too much for a 5.3 in a heavy truck. It will more evenly distribute the nitrous and fuel, and it looks good.

I think the jets are different for the plate setup, might give NX a call on that. It might be easier and less expensive to put your nozzle in the elbow, but the plate would be cool!

Yeah I'm sure it'd be cheaper to use a nozzle since I already have one but that plate would be sweet. Just wondering if there was any benefit

Because it has large runners, which will kill tq down low, your truck is heavy, you have a small motor, no stall, and you are cammed. It will run well up top but your 60fts are going to suffer very badly. If you notice the Vic Jrs are only on big cube motors, even on tech there arent very many if any(I havent seen any) running one on a stock cubed(346) motor in a light car.
