Abstract
A tunable nitrous plate assembly for fuel injected 5.0 liter V8 engines contains a metal plate ( ) that is sandwiched between the upper and lower manifold members of the engine air intake manifold. The plate contains multiple ports ( ) mate with the ports in the lower manifold member and, thereby, lead to individual intake runners of the engine cylinders. Each port includes a nitrous oxide spray conduit ( ) overlying a fuel spray conduit ( ) with both conduits extending across the port transverse to the longitudinal plate axis. Fittings ( ) attached to the plate exterior couple an end of respective spray conduits for fluid communication with appropriate nitrous oxide and fuel supplies. Replaceable calibration jets ( ) installed in respective fittings ( ) in series with the supply lines are selected so that the horsepower generated by the engine cylinders is balanced.
