Carb nitrous plate orientation
I know it matters that the plate be installed facing with the "up" arrow facing up, but does it matter if the fuel goes in from the front or the rear?Nitrous? This is on a plate system under a carb.

Doesn't matter..I ran my plate both ways when I was trying to get it all plumbed to my liking...then sold it.Didn't make a difference in how it performed.

the front to rear part doesnt matter but mounting the plate ubside down causes the nitrous which sprays downwards through the fuel into the intake ports will then spray upwards into the sides of the carburator venturies.
As you could imagine, air trying to get into the carb has to overcome the 1000 psi spraying the wrong direction.
as well as the carb's veturies which are looking for uniform airflow to deliver fuel now have to deal with a great turbulence.
