This is about where I'd mount the nozzle, personally. I'd be worried about feeding 3/4 of the spray into the front 4 cyls with the way the throttle bodies and 2nd gen intake are set up. I'll post a pic of my friend's 2nd gen install (same HSW kit, different intake tube) tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing. The nozzle looks way too close. Mine(dry) is even further back past the ribbed area on the intake tube. I would be worried about only the front of the motor getting most of the shot.
Agree'd about cylinder distribution issues posted above..
AND... I wonder if that picture doesnt contain the reason the kit is "breaking up" sometimes.
look at the fuel line, down along the radiator and Xover tube.. could vapor lock be causing that?
IF it were ME.. I'd run that line around the backside of the intake, and insulate it from engine heat.

I'd run it to the back of the engine bay too, and cover it with some kind of wire loom. For the cops. You want your nozzle to be about 6" from the tb, and without any bends. the 6" inches being more important than the bend. I would also move the solenoids under the cowl or something. Hiding it from the heat and the eyes is the best way to go. That way it works the best and the cops or anyone else cant say anything. here is my engine bay.... find the nitrous. And yes I know its dirty and I have to clean up the welds on my intake. I just made a new one this spring and havent gotten around to cleaning it up yet.

I'd rather have shiny the paint chippage

ok I had that coming to me....
So what should I do? Epoxy the hole I made in the intake and move the nozzle downstream? HSW told me that with a wet nozzle there is always going to be fuel/nitrous distribution issues no matter what the placement and the further downstream the better fuel atomization but it becomes more volitile.
Doesn't the dry nozzle have to be placed before the mass air meter, otherwise how does it know more air is coming in so it adds more fuel?

how big a shot are you running? honesly with a small shot I wouldnt worry about it all that much, aim for the 6-8" mark but dont be losing sleep over it. If thats the customer service they have, Im glad I went with a different make
I'm running a 100 shot right now. Will be running a 125 or even 150 shot once I get it dynotuned. I've decided that i'm gonna have it SCT dynotuned, only gonna be using the Sniper for datalogging purposes. I have no complaints about HSW's customer service, they are fast to reply.

I'd put a bolt in there... some kind of physical thing blocking the hole... I don't trust epoxy... those tubes aren't rare by any means though... I have an extra.

htrdlincoln98: You might want to look into how a Dry Nitrous kit works....

Id have it tuned na minus some timing. then tune the nitrous with the jet sizes. They might reply quickly but what a bad answer. "your gonna have issues where ever you put it" is the wrong answer. "we reccomend putting it..." is the right answer
I'd epozy it, silicone it, or just cover it with tape. but like you said, they arent hard to come by

Alright I have no idea how dry kits works I guess... I thought you were supposed to spray through the MAF...

Hey 98 if you want my old intake tub its yours just pay for the shipping. It already has the hole for the nozzle. Thats for helping with the sniper. I have some posts about my set location of the Kit. it is very hard to see. Have you thought about getting the regulator fuel plate so you don't have that ugly line right on top. Zex with the wet kits takes the fuel from the regulator. Thats what I would do look much better and be real easy to route around back.
As for dry nozzle locations I've read some spray thru the MAF thats not what zex said to do. Maybe its a chevy thing. I havnt seen any fords spraying thru the MAF up my way. Seen a few using the gas. Maybe the IAT figures it out.
Got the wideband O2 installed today. CAR runs lean at little to no throttle. Hit the throttle and its good. Even sprayed alittle and it was go got more rich. That was on my NA tune as well. Most the time thats the tune I spray on the street. It seems good.

OH yeh the dry zex kit has a line run to the fuel regulator and when the kit hits it lowers the vacuum. Raising the fuel pressure. Both the N2O and Fuel have jets. To increase the HP level the N2O jet gets bigger and the fuel jet gets smaller. Smaller less vacuum more fuel.
I see alot of GM's/Fbodies etc, do it.. but like you said I dont see many fords doing it.
I'd be scared it'd blow the little resistors off those silly little wires..*shruggs*
Commanded at idle is around 14.64, so it might be a little lean..and would indicate error in your MAF transfer function, but should be of no consequence.
Do you still have cats on the car?
That is good!
That is better, pill it UP! (lol, that's where it begins)
that means either you have a pretty good "variance" between "commanded and delivered" A/F OR your N/A tune probably isn't very aggressive or what would be considered "conservative or safe".
*thumbs up*
