Default Alky Injector Nozzle

What's the best spot to place my injector nozzle?
I have the Vortech SC kit, and was contemplating the nozzle in either the charge air cooler outlet flange, or in the throttle body.
Any pros or cons with either set-up.
Thanks!

Julio will best answer your question!

Depending on your year as well will aid in the placement of the nozzle!

WHY? because you want it to be before the IAT sensor but if yours is in the MAF then you will need to do a re-locate for the IAT!

This of course should yield the best results as it enables the PCM to see the IAT's drop in temp!


Thanks,Matt

Best location, after the MAF, before the IAT sensor, with the IAT as close to the T/B as possible and the nozzle as far away as possible.(but not right next to the MAF either) That way the alky has as much time as possible to evaporate, which is what causes the lower IAT temps.

Sorry Guy's, I should have given better details.
I have the vortech brand SC kit, and my car is a 2000.
My IAT is on the intake elbow, but before the SC head unit, so I can't place the injector before the IAT.
Thanks!

No but you can relocate the IAT

Is there a relocation kit thats available? If I relocate the IAT, should I be installing the IAT into one side of the charge air cooler and the injector nozzle onto the opposite side of the charge air cooler?
Thanks.
