The plate for our 2bbl TB is prohibitavly expensive, and more complex for
the 'average' DIY'er... It may lower the amount of air coming through the
TB, but if it's choking out (for example) 10hp worth of air through the TB,
you're spraying enough n2o and fuel to add 100+ hp... kinda makes up for it
;) same goes with runnning the mix really fat, I run a 100 pill of n2o and
a 150 pill of fuel. Probably makes closer to 85hp (dyno) but the 15hp loss
is worth it IMO to ensure a safe gassing experience :)

This is the way I have seen it done everytime. It doesn't seem like the
best way though to me. It would seem like you're substantially reducing
the capacity of the TB by doing this. Instead of only flowing air, the TB
now has to flow nitrous and the added fuel. I would think the effective
CFM of the TB would be substantially reduced in terms of the air it could
flow. Obviously, the whole point of nitrous is that it brings additional
air into the combustion chamber, so maybe this isn't a big issue at all???
I don't know.
The simple carbuerated nitrous kits use a plate below the carb, why not do
this with a TB setup as well??
