whats the biggest i can juice my 02 Z28.wet or dry
The only thing i have done is the lid. didnt wanna ***** around with little mods, but i do wanna get some safe h/p. i wil be getting headers soon also. my car also had the 3.23 axle option, so i think it will be pretty quick for a stocker n02 car.

well first off "little" mods are what get you the optimal results. to me why spray a stock car and run like what 12.50s? when you could have a complete bolton car running high 11s low 12s(look in my sig). I wouldnt consider that pussying around. Doesnt make much sense to me to spray and run 12.50s when you can have a bolton car run just as fast if not faster. just my opinion

150 wet all day. The most power, with the least hastle. Just change your plugs and your set.

I hate to beat a dead horse but a 150 shot wet you might want to upgrade that pump.

Many people have run without one. Myself included. Sure it would probably be a good precaution. 150 is definatly the max without one. I trust my FPSS.

I ask cause I am going to get a 150hp dry shot soon and I heard a while back that I needed to upgrade my fuel pump. I figured if that was the case (since it would be such a pain in the ***) that I'd just put smaller jets in till I could afford to do the pump upgrade. But if I can get away with the 150hp shot.........***** to the wall baby.

im pretty set on getting a wet system. from what i have researched 150 is a lot for a dry shot with a stock system. and the dammage that running lean is often severe. in my humble opinion a wet shot is worth the money

I hope Robert chimes in! I was talking to him about this exact same subject a few months back because I have been wanting a 150hp system for a while. Originally I wanted a wet system. He said that dry is better. He is the guru and can speak educatingly about this subject, and I can't so I'm not going to try!

Robert? Can you chime in here?

Don't get me wrong camaroextra, I'm sure they both have there ups and downs and I'm not trying to sway you from the wet system. I just want Robert to explain why the dry system is better! I forgot.
