Why go w/ a FOGGER?

It obviously gets better distribution than a plate, but I hear a plate kit hits harder, WHY?... Is there any E.T./MPH gains from a fogger?
 
I think the better distribution is the key part. When you get to higher levels of nitrous I would imagine its pretty critical that all the cylinders are getting the correct mixture to avoid damage.

I never understood why people say a plate hits harder. But apparently it does. Maybe its because the cylinders can pull in more of a mixture and amount rather then what is directly shot in in the cylinder and is more controlled??

i would think i plate would hit harder because its pulling all the nitrous thru a 4150 sized opening. so youve got 200 hp crammed down the motor and with a fogger your only putting so much into each cylinder. like oj said distribution too. im no genius but thats what i think

Ok, with DISTRIBUTION being the key factor... What HP(shot) range would one recommend to go with a fogger rather than a plate.
 
Just an opinion, but if you are already spraying, I would start with the same size shot to see the difference. Then begin steping up. That would answer your original question.

It seems like the plate system has a better possibility of favoring a few cylinders due to the dumping effect into the plenum, where as the fogger has the same amount going to each cylinder. Maybe under 250hp shots, this is not an issue, but it seems like when you start using tone of spray you want it to be spread out evenly. Once again, just my take on it. I am using a fogger in the spring, but have used a plate for years on my drag boat.
 
Through a plate or nozzles youre relying on the intake to distribute an even mix to each cylinder. Direct port/fogger gives the ability to tune each individual cylinder. For anything less than a 200 I wouldn't bother with the extra money, but if your spray big and often, its well worth the money. I don't know about "hitting" harder. I've use a progressive controller on my setup for a long time, so there is no hitting. :)
 
the reason they say a plate hits harder is because nitrous is at 1000psi and fuel is only 6psi or so. with a plate its a longer distance to the combustion chamber so nitrous gets there before fuel and it feels like it hits harder because its lean for a quick second.. with a fogger its closer to the chamber and the fuel is right there so it wont bang as hard.

i went from a double cross plate with 200 in it, to a pro fogger with 200,no other changes ie timing, fuel press, nothing, i even left the XX plate under the carb. and the car slowed down. more timing and fuel press took care of the lost time

I wouldn't go over 250. I'm not sure on Fords though. There are people getting away with 200-300 shots through nozzles and plates on LSX engines with a regular LS "style" manifold. Most go to direct port after 250. I guess it depends on if your going to keep it on a safe tune or run it on kill mode all the time. Ask yourself, how much room are you going to leave for error? I would definitly leave a lot more when spraying that much through a plate.

facts are facts. the fastest nitrous cars in the world have foggers on them.

plural is correct.

not arguing that point, as is it unrefutable.

but when glidden had his single plate kit on a cast intake.....he was the fastest, and he dominated cars with twin 4500's and double foggers

so they can be very fast.
 
if you want a hard hit out of the gate ,move the fogger nozzles up in the intake track closer to the carb,it will hit harder
