Where to put fogger nozzle w/ Vortec intake elbow?

I was about to drill and tap a hole in my intake elbow for my fogger nozzle when I remembered that this thing has a divider all the way through the elbow. No matter where I put the nozzle, it'll be directed into only 1 of the 2 blades in the throttle body.

Will this create nitrous distribution problems inside the intake?

It may sound like a dumb question to some, but I'm new to nitrous and dont wanna tear my stuff up :P

Thanks

I think a plate setup would be best with the vortec elbow. I have the same one and plan to use the NX plate.

Re: Where to put fogger nozzle w/ Vortec intake elbow?

I have a compucar plate that I'm replacing with a fogger nozzle because of various problems. The plate is pretty dang thick and barely fits, I had to grind a lot off my thermostat housing and I still have a vacuum leak past the plate and it just doesnt seem to run right when I spray it.

I was told a fogger nozzle is a little better since it gives the mixture more time to atomize and is a bit better at distributing it.

I have to give it a shot though. I'm gonna try putting it on the passenger side of the elbow right in the inside of the curve so it sprays diagonally towards the passenger side. If I have any problems with one side running leaner than the other, I'll just have to buy a new intake elbow.

I just ordered a Trick Flow elbow for mine and it seems to fit. Haven't had the blower hooked up so I can't tell you whether there are any other problems.
