PSP Nitrous Plate Kit-- Adds HP on it's own

Got an instant message from a customer the other day. He ordered one of our PSP Billet Nitrous Plate kits.

He took his truck to the dyno, and he told me for ****s and giggles he did a before and after dyno comparison with our nitrous plate. He made a pull, installed the plate, made another pull, and gained 8 rwhp! He couldn't believe it, so he removed it, made another pull, installed it, made another pull, and verifed that it added an honest 8 rwhp.

I never tried testing that, as I always intended to use it solely for mounting the nitrous nozzles. Has anyone else ever tried this? I plan to do some testing when I get the chance, because that sure sounds like a cheap way to get some extra hp, and add a little bling all at the same time!

Is is safe to assume there won't be a phenolic version (sans nozzles) available from PSP?

Laugh all you want, but read ANY post from me about it.
After I removed the Race Tested Plate, which is Sals plate times two in thickness, (designed after Sals plate , tested, tweaked, and modified on my truck with the help of Sal) and you will constantly hear me say I LOST POWER WHEN I TOOK IT OFF.

It's tunnel ram anyway you look at it.
YOU ARE moving the Throttle Body further away from the Upper,
And YOU ARE changing the characteristics of the systems flow
And optimization of the fuel air mixture.

WOO HOO, THAT SOUNDED LIKE I KNEW WHAT I WAS SAYING....



And although Sal and I never did before and after Dyno's with it, I have told him and Denny the same thing his customer is saying now, it adds HP.
HEY DENNY, CAN I HAVE MY PLATE BACK PLEASE

Rob,

You've been boosting your plasma way too much.

Considering that the blower chews up the air that goes into the intake how the heck can one or two inches of distance make a difference? What exactly happens in that one inch of air before the blower gets it? I think you all are smokin too much.

i have a fiberglass elbow and the 3 holes on the bottom are hard enough to get the lines to reach and stay in place. does adding this inch of space make it impossible for someone without the stock rubber elbow to get those lines hooked up?

That Paint job is amazing

Although I'm not using the plate anymore (I drilled the nozzle into the upper)
I can tell you I've used both the PSP Plate and the Race Tested Plate
(which as said is the same plate double thick) and in both cases it actually helped, not hurt getting those dam lines in the inlet boot. Right now without any plate on there it a MF to get mine in amof (&@$^(@$@$^@$(

oldfrmtruck, if you are having issues with the website, just call and order it. Leave a message and Lisa will call back and take the order.

bad00, I am pretty sure our plate works with the ZEX nozzle. It's 1/8" pipe right?

As for the whistling, that's a new one to me. Are you guys sure you've put the tapered plug in the one of the two holes you DON'T use?

As for distance, our plate is only 1/2" thick. That picture Rob posted was of something else and doesn't look anything like ours.
