Back to my original post: Plate systems and single nozzle systems plumbed into a SR are sketchy at best because of the SR's plenum/runner layout. Both these type systems starve the rear cylinders which gives you an extreme lean situation and you know what that causes on nitrous. I know this because I've done it... You can stick an EGT in either #7 or #8 and try it yourself and you'll see the EGT's spike very high. For a SR motor the BEST solution if you want to run N2O is a direct port setup. Additionally they are NOT hard to setup or tune; more jets to change, true, but still simple. Follow the mfg's recs if you're inexperienced and you'll never have an issue.

You could take an inch worth of aluminum stock and make yourself a spacer plate between the runners and plenum on a SR but that would be impractical in addition to lengthening the runner to that of a standard TPI. Won't work at all on a standard TPI due to the curved runners...

JB is right though, regardless of your nitrous experience, if you can go direct port, do it. It is much safer for the motor, and the HP gains are much more profound than with a single nozzle.
