Re: LT1 plate pics..
That there plate is right purty...
Question though...
There is a school of thought that says that an LT1 plate system has a mixture differential from front to rear that say, a MAF system doesn't.
I honestly don't know, but I will admit that I shy away from the LTx plate systems for that very reason.
Could you speak on that issue?

If you look at the distribution holes in the plate.Notice they spray across the plate and to out of the plate. What we are doing is releasing our mixture from one side of the throttle body throat to the other.Then the induction from the motor will suck the mixture of nitrous,fuel and air into the plennum.

What about a 54mm?
The stock manifold is set up for a 54mm right?
That's a nice plate I want one too.
Well that and any brackets for the throttle cable and the ASR cable too.

LT4 intake is 52mm
Re: LT1 plate pics..
Guys these will come as a converesion kit.With the needed,gaskets,bolts,cable extentions etc. Ofcourse we have them for stock throttle bodies.We do not have pricing worked out yet. So bare with me,
I have many new products I will be posting here shortly.
Thanks
Dave

Re: LT1 plate pics..
Cool...it looks like it was worth the wait dave...What HP level will this plate support...250 or so? If one had his intake plumbed for shark like this
couls I use that plate for second stage or would spraying 1st stage of shark thru that plate interfere with distrubution..inquiry minds want, need, have to know
Peace

Re: LT1 plate pics..
It would seem to me that the typical plate "distribution" system is dependant in part on the size of the fuel droplets. The larger the droplet, the harder it is for it to "turn the corner", as required to get any fuel at all into #1 and #2. Obviously, the air and nitrous have an easier time making the turn, leading to a lean mixture at #1 and #2, and a rich mixture on #7 and #8.
While spraying the fuel/nitrous mix at the back of the intake would cetainly make that problem worse, is simply changing the direction you spray the fuel/nitrous mix enough to overcome the simple physics of particle size distribution and inertia? Does the plate design incorporate any features to maximize fuel atomization, minimizing droplet size? Is the mixing internal to the plate or does one row of holes spray nitrous and the other row spray fuel?

Injuneer,
Our theory is that as stated by you and I the current plates spray towards the back of the intake.The plate is placing the dispurment holes to close to the front runners.This is why I have always suggested a single nozzle or maff kit that sprays before the throttle body. However the market for a clean looking plate that works well has always been here.Until we figured out a way of doing this with a desighn I was happy with I refused to sell a plate system.
Our desighn will bennifit in this way.
The fuel drop side of things is so small many time smaller than any fuel injector can create.... And since we are not injecting the nitrous towards the rear of the intake the fuel is not carried to the rear in the nitrous stream... The holes are designed to in a pattern that helps promote fuel atomizing, and distribution.. The nitrous slams into the fuel across the plate, right and left. The natural air flow at WOT carries that mixture were the air flow wants to go.
I hope this helped.
