    Have you ever seen a correlation between the hat nozzle jet placement and cylinder richness?

    another way to say it is:
    If your rear hat nozzle jets are 55's (the ones in the blower housing) and the front hat nozzle jets (the ones in the injection hat) are 45's, now swap them so the rears are now smaller, will this change the fuel distribution at the cylinders?

    Or do they all get mixed so well in the blower that it doesn't matter?

    Not sure on yours but i would not do it!
    The 55's are in the rear to cool and seal rotors, it may get hot if you move it to the front

    and to answer this question
    Have you ever seen a correlation between the hat nozzle jet placement and cylinder richness?

    YES

    The air/fuel all comes out the delta/retro opening in the front at an angel I cant see where it would fatten a rear cylinder. Time for ports ?

    I agree with Craig. The air is pushed back on the top of the rotors then down the ouside of the rotors then forward where it is combined to go out the pie shaped opening at a real steep angle of about 45* then it hits the front of the manifold and is then turned 180* and pushed to the back of the manifold. The fuel mixture is total beat bent and mixed before it gets into the intake runners. There is no way that there can be any correlation between the two.

    larger nozzles at the back to help cool the blower; as far as distribution is concerned, everything is going in at the front.

    I just bought a delta opening 8.71 for my sbc. Do I need to run port nozzles, or am I still able to run hat nozzles only and be able to get reasonable fuel mixtures from front to back?

    I would run port nozzles it will help you balence the cylinder temps out. TJ
