Wet kit or direct port??
Hello, i am long time reader first real post on this board at least. I am getting a nitrous kit. money out of the qeustion which would be best for a 100 shot. i know DP can go a lot higher but still seems safer to me. If i where to do a DP how hard are they to plum in? thanks for the help, Nick

anything over 150 and i'd be plumbing the intake or calling up NX for the NXL kit

It is the NXL kit with a bunch of stuff in it, bottle heater all that good stuff, used for only about 2 months he used it for a 75 shot. The thing is that if the engine goes, i dont really have enough money to build it. I can get some but still i rather just be safe. alll said and done i could get a direct port kit with everything includeing bottle heater, purge, gauge, blowdown, 10 lbs bottle, window switch, and throtlle switch, and fpss and such for like $1000. sounds really cheap to me he just needs to get rid of it. Is there any down fall to doing a direct port kit? or is it just because it is so expensive for a new one that a wet kit is suggested? Thanks for the help

With dry you are not shooting fuel through the intake, just N2O. The mix is done in the chamber by the injectors.
Dry, just needs to be monitored closer as it is regulated by MAF and dependant on your AFR/timming to be adjusted by sensor readings, that is all.
DP, IMO is the safest way to shoot wet, as no mix is in the intake runners (Well at the end of them right before it is sucked in.) So backfire are to a minimum.
If one can spend the money, that is the way to go, no matter what size you are shooting. And as mentionned previously, better distribution and chamber saturation.
I'm contemplating a NOSzle system. (I like the plastic lines), wish I had more data about that kit.
