Default dry to wet dual stage.

I was close to selling my 5177 kit and getting wet kit from one of our sponsors. Im still gonna buy a wet kit, but i want to keep the 5177 too. I was thinking of doing a small 75hp shot off the line then hitting the swich for the 75-100ph wet kit, in second gear. Anybody doing this? (a two stage dry to wet conversion. It should be easier on the gears and drivetrain in theory but does it work?

I have seen many people do it this way.The dry for the first backed up by a wet system to add the torque and more power later on. I say its very duable.

I wouldn't trust "flipping a switch" for the 2nd stage. I know of many people who have done this but this greatly increases ur chances of something going wrong. How about buying a dual stage window switch from one of the sponsors?

Yes a dual window switch with a gear lock out feature works nicely. Or you can run a delay timer also.

I do custom nitrous installs here in Houston. I do Dry/Wet two stages all the time. It makes for a nice launch and a great kick once you catch traction. You'll be fine.

wow, cool! In all cases, Do you launch off of dry and keep spraying dry during the second wet stage, or are some turning off the dry and SWITCHING to wet?

No switching any stage off, it's the progressive nature that works so well. You'll be faster and win more races doing it this way.

Thanks for the clarification Robert. That is what i thought, I'm questioning what I think. Thats how we all learn right? Thanks to all, I will end this post with, "I have a lot to learn" may this post NOT be replied to, and lets move on!
