Default Blow Thru Carb setup - where is the best nozzle location?

Hey all,

I didn't see if this had been asked before, so I'll ask anyway.

I have a blow thru carb setup on the camaro, with about 8 psi or so from a vortech S-trim. I have no intercooler, and 9.9:1 SCR, so I am going to use WI for obvious reasons. I have a recirculating valve installed just before the carb hat that stays in the open state while the motor is delivering a vac. signal.

Where would be the best place to put the nozzle? I have heard some say that you can go into the inlet of the blower (like they did on WWII fighter planes), and that it helps keep the blower cool, plus it "mixes" everything up very well.

I have heard that you can put the nozzle right after the charger, so that as the air flows through the intake piping the alcohol/H20 mix has more time to cool the charge air before going into the chambers. But there was a concern over blowing the alcohol mix out the recirc valve in some cases. Would that be a real issue or not?

Then, lastly, some put the nozzle in a plate under the carb, or in the intake just under the carb. This allows the alcohol mix the least amount of mixing, least amount of elapsed time for cooling the charge, yes? I may be concerned about mixture distribution this way.

Which way works the best? Any recommendations?

Thanks for any help!
