what would be better for a small shot on a high mileage motor

I'm gonna spray in the spring. I know I need the Malory dealieo, no problem there, I have a bottle and all the mounts to mount it on the rear drive shaft hump, and I know its going to be a 100hp wet shot, on a car with a PCM for less tune. I don't know if I should do a TB plate, MAF plate, or a simple, hide able ( wouldn't matter much if the bottle's on the drive shaft hump, but I could always move it ) nozzle on the bottom of the 1le elbow.

My current mods are

1le Elbow
Air Foil
Lingenfelter Cold Air Intake
BBK mid length headers
Off Road Y Pipe
Borla exhaust with NO plate in it
160 degree stat with manual fan switch
pro5.0 shifter
MSD Super Conductors
NGK TR-55's gaped at .050
Should be a hair over 145k miles on it in the spring

If the car runs good on spray I'll probably throw in a nice, n20 friendly cam, and a full valve train upgrade with 1.6 RR's..

Re: what would be better for a small shot on a high mileage motor

Any style will be effective for what you plan to do. It really depends on what you want to spend and what is most visually appealing to you. The MAF and Throttle Plate setups look very clean and professional. The only drawback is that they run a decent amount of change. The nozzle setup is the cheapest and that is the main reason why I went with it. As for hiding your system, the bottle tucks away nicely in the spare tire outlet, Nitrous Outlet sells a custom mounting plate to mount your bottle in there. Also, there are custom switch panels that go right inside your ashtray and are not noticable until the lid is open.

Im to to sure if I want to hide it yet.

I mean, it would be cool and all, but it would also be bad *** when I have two ladies in the back to have them sitting on either side of a nice blue N.O.S. bottle haha.

I don't know, people seem pretty awed when I show them my trunk area, pop off the plastic trim panel, and boom, a big, white 15lb NX bottle is right there in plain view all the sudden.

Re: what would be better for a small shot on a high mileage motor

Arent you from around the QC?
Make sure the motor is sound before spraying it. Make sure that you have good fuel pressure, no major oil leaks and so on. A good safety deal to have is the fuel pressure safety switch. Not getting enough fuel to the motor while spraying will be a costly mistake. I went with the single nozzle set-up and am happy with the way it turned out. Spraying big shots it wouldnt be the best way to get an even amount of spray across the cylinders but for a small shot it does the job. Also look into colder plugs, you have the 55's gapped at .050 but look into TR6's and gap them at .035.

Re: what would be better for a small shot on a high mileage motor

yea Im from the Qc ( check out QCAAF.com if you are looking for local meets and such )

Alright, I think I'll just do a single nozzle... I know I have ~40lbs of fuel pressure, and I don't think I have any MAJOR oil leaks, but I do know that the bottom of my car ( K-member, steering arm, tranny, floor boards ) is soaked in oil... I have no clue why though, as I don't use any oil... weirdness.

The rear main seal and the rear intake manifold are to common spots where the LT1 likes to spit out oil.
