you probably already know this but i always thought a wet shot was more dangerous and flammable, dry was safer, but wet shot was more effective, but i wasn't sure how this was true when you can choose what hp shot you want

if you don't have mas you can go with a dry shot and your fuel system has to be able to keep up with the extra fuel you need from the dry Idk much about this stuff In my book is wet or go home

Wet. The wet kit will supply it's own fuel rather than taxing your existing injectors / carb jets for the needed fuel.

I agree, Wet kit is safer. I heard too many stories about people blowing up their engines because their Fuel injectors couldn't handle the extra fuel needed and they ran it lean at the top end.:nos:

im a nitrous noob, but this is what I know...

for most simple setups on stock fuel systems, wet. BUT I have heard with larger shots or with boost that a wet fogger will not be distributed well through the intake manifold, feel free to bash me for that, its what i heard in a hondata seminar. Its better, considering a standalone and proper fuel system to go with a dry fogger. It is easier to control and safer. thats what I would do if it was me anyways since I already have the fuel and management.

theres quite a few guys that will defend a dry shot to death on ls1tech, but I'd stick with wet.

I personally think with a dry shot you usually run a smaller jet so a dry shot is more of just a low hp shot vs. the wet shot you can go a little higher on the jets because you are also adding fuel. I mean I'm no expert but thats just what i know from what i've learned. But I think everyone has there own opinion on which is better.

wet kits are the way to go.

but wet kits have some problems in efi manifolds with fuel atomization. efi manifold are ment to flow only air, with longer runners, sharper turns and bends. carb manifolds have shorter runners with nice smoothflowing bends to carry air and fuel. with the sharp turns of an efi manifold the fuel can "fall" out of the air stream and puddle in the manifoldthat can cause you to go lean turn your spark plug into a glow plug and on the next intake stroke cause the fresh air/fuel mixture to ignite on its way in and then ignite the puddled fuel in your manifold....byby throttle body and air filter. But if you get a quality nozzle the does a good job of atomizing the fuel and you keep the airvelocity up by staying in higher rpms and only activating at WOT and run a reasonable sized jet. wet kits will run better and give better results

Dry kits eather fool your ecu by changing sensor signals or by clamping on your fuel return line to raise your fuel pressure causing the injectors to spray more fuel in to match the nitrous. but they will never run as well as a wet kit

eather of the kits are verry efective in forced induction they cool the heated compressed air, and spool turbos faster. and from what i read wets work great because the air velocity is way higher in a turbo/SC car then a NA car and that will keep the fuel from puddling.

I have had 2 intake backfires from my wet kit. both from bad wiring causing system activation at part throttle when there is verry little air velocity. still i would never go with a dry kit

oh ya its not "nos" its N2O or nitrous or giggle juice or spray i hate it when people call it nos. nos is a company that makes outdated nitrous kits and components

but if you have any ???? or decide to do it and need some help w/install let me know I did alot of research before i put the kit on my car. and if your woried about if the motor will handle it. look at it this way 75 on a 4 banger is only 18.75 hp added to each cylender. my first motor had 154k on it and it took it great
