Default Farther Nitrous purge???

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this topic since it really isn't performance related. Basically just want to settle this argument.

My cousin and I had a disagreement last night while working on his drag truck.
When it comes to his truck, he's kind of a showboat.
Anyway, he has the nitrous purge coming out of the hood and wanted it to go higher in the air. I told him that if he wanted it to go higher, he should use a smaller diameter line from the purge to get a more narrow "stream" that would be forced higher. He disagreed and said that a larger diameter would flow more. I thought this would just make a larger/wider cloud. I tried using the garden hose nozzle analogy where the smaller hole setting shoots farther.
After multiple "You're a fu**ing retard", "I'm right" & "I really just want to punch you in the face right now" comments were exchanged we never came to a conclusion.

What does H-T think?

smaller diameter will increase pressure. larger will increase volume. you are on the right track.
