STEVE I HAVE A EDEL/GLIDDEN FOGGER I WAS GOING TO ADD A PLATE
BUT I WASN'T TOO INPRESSED WITH THE EDEL PLATES. (NICE BUT NOT DIFRENT OR BETTER THAN OTHERS) I HAVE NOT SEEN THE GLIDDEN X PLATE WHAT IS IT? AND WHATS THE DIFFRENCE?
THANKS

I think it's safe to say our Victor Jr. cross bar style plate is better and different then any others out there. If you take a look at the plate you may start to see some of the differences.

First, It has two nitrous and two fuel solenoids. No other single stage plate system offers this.

Second, the spray bars are actually four seperate sets of bars. They are dead headed in the middle.

Third, this is the most under advertised plate on the market. Edelbrock only advertises it with settings from 200-400 horsepower. Lets break it down though. Most are familiar with the NOS Big Shot system. One nitrous and one fuel solenoid. The combined area of holes in each spray is roughly equal to .120. They rate it at 325,350+, or even 400 HP depending on the ad.
In simplicity my point is ours has twice the solenoids (two nitrous and two fuels) and over twice the square area in holes in the combined spray bars. Wouldn't it be easy to say our's should make 650 HP(325 X 2 = 650) plus horsepower based on the components in the kit.

Forth, this is the only plate kit out there with four nitrous and four fuel jets. You can do more fine tuning then with any other plate out there.

Fifth, our kits have stainless steel jets, the nitrous solenoids all have Teflon plungers, and the cross style gives the best distribution on any style of plate. This is very important as well in the Fords where the four corners like to run lean !!

Sixth, the system can be made into a two stage system with just a few changes.

I have been working for Edelbrock for over three years now. I worked for NOS for eight before this. This is the most under rated plate out there !!! I have sold these to many of my racers and told then to start on the 200 HP settings. All have told me that they have gone quicker and faster then they did with there previous kits on as big as 350 HP settings. The Victor Jr. has even out ran some of the other direct port systems out there.

I hope this give you a little insight into our system. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Steve


PS, doesn't any one on this board use there nams ?? It always nice to have a name to reply to ???

When I Looked At It I Tought It Was A Dual Stage Plate
Then Notice That It Was A Single Plate Looks Good
Still Have Not Heard Of Any One Using It (that I Know Or Talk To)
I Have The Fogger With Glidden Nozzels Nice Kit Btw
Thanks Alot For The Info I Take Another Look At It

Thanks.

Javier,
Thanks for taking another look. If you decide you want to try one of these systems please feel free to give me a call.
Joe Martin and Ken Close ran a Super Victor direct port with E2's and the Victor Jr. plate on the Pump Gas Drags car. It was the black 34 that was second place in 04, won in 05, and was seventh this year. I have had many others that race and grudge race use this system. Thanks, Steve

steve this is Tadd Miller I run one of your plates it is the gliddin X plate it was bought new through summit or jegs? but anyhow... this plate made well above 200H.P. on a very fat tune up my dyno #'s showed the car was rich on motor so I leaned the kit down to 5-3/4 psi fuel pressure (flowing) still had a rich condition but I was very pleased to say the motor made 970ftlbs of torque! on the 200 setting! I need some tunning tips bro! pm me a email address!thanx!
