I am planning on adding a 200-250 shot just for fun

. mostly street driven. I know the plate systems are cheaper but have been looking at a fogger. Any advise for the set up i should go with any why?

foggers are generally used for a few reasons, a fogger can support more stages at a larger flow. and foggers have a better distribution into each individual runner for better atomization. generally most guys that run foggers are running multiple stages of 500hp "shots" for your scenario i would go with a plate system, theirs alot of good plate systems out now for what your trying to do the NOS big shot plate system is a good and inexpensive plate system, or the NX Gemini wich is what i run, or if you can afford it i recommend going with the Wilson pro flo plate system, the plate has burst plates in it for back fires the solenoids are all rebuild-able and billet and the solenoid brackets they have are awesome for keeping it clean.

The biggest advantage with foggers over plates is the amount of fine tuning they provide. You can tune each individual cylinder on both nitrous and fuel sides. If you've got a hot cylinder you can pull some no2 jet out. With a plate you pretty much have to tune the whole system off the "worst" cylinder. I run a fogger setup on my camaro (LSx motor) with a 200 shot.

Wilson is to much, i would go with a fogger for that price. I have a Dominator intake and an adaptor for 4150 carb. not sure if setting a plate on the top or bottom will make a diffrence. Thinking the higher it is, the better it will dispurse.

At 200-250 id go with a NOS cheater/Edelbrock plate . That would give you the ability to go smaller if you wanted . The tune ups are easy and proven . The plate is alot easier to install .

A fogger looks cooler and will hit the tires softer than a plate . The manifold also needs to be set up in a mill for the holes to be drilled so it will look semetrical piping wise . Tuning for a fogger is alot more precise .

You want your plate to be as close to the cylinders as possible.....so your plate would go UNDER your adapter. I started out on a NOS big shot, it was a great starter kit for what I wanted to do. I still have a plate but I moved on to a cold fusion setup that uses a square jetting method. I've blown up everything in my truck except the engine.....lol And the engine even had hyper pistons in it

Wilson makes great nitrous stuff but I would avoid the plate with the burst panels. I have a friend that has had trouble with them and he runs NA most of the time. If you are gonna run a plate you might want to look at the Speedtech diffusor plate. Thats what I had on my truck at Pass Time.

Mine will have a fogger with big jets next time out.

I agree with hotrod80 the plate is a lot easier and more simple to install but the fogger looks a lot more cool.
