Has anybody tried a throttle body plate system on their superram setup? I found a good deal on one but from the way the intake is designed I can see a few cylinders getting less nitrous than others, particularly on the drivers side bank. I was planning a fogger system, but I found a good deal on this plate. What do you think?

 

There have always been two sides to this story... One side says there is distribution problems when using a plate system on a SuperRam, the other side says there isn't. I kind of sit in the middle... I can 'see' where there is potential for risk, particularly with the large plenum volume and the shape of its layout. However, I ran a plate N2O system on my old 383 SuperRam for several years (never sprayed over 150, though I could've) and never saw a problem. I've always used an EGT in one of the rear cylinders (#7 usually) which are the ones you would think would have a distribution problem. The EGT never deviated more than 25 degrees between n/a and N2O... A lot of that is testament to the fact that I try to tune my combination as near to perfect as is humanly possible because I've BLOWN UP a motor before and I don't want to do it again!! This motor is now in my wife's 85 Vette (with new rings and a smaller cam) and is still going VERY strong. So from my experience I haven't had a problem; nor have the two other SuperRam equipped vehicles I installed a plate system on. But, the Fogger is without a doubt the safest set-up of the two... I'm unsure as to the margin of error here but the Fogger takes it out of the equation.

I have a set of ported SuperRam Runners with a NOS fogger for sale. Make me an offer. LPE told not to use the plate and I think they designed SuperRam.
