Default Wet or Dry Nitrous with Supercharger?

Which system would ya'll recommend if I were to spray on top the supercharger? I think at most I'd spray a 100 shot. This would be just to run some quick times at the track.

Thanks

I would go with Wet. Its alot easier to tune and you wont have to get huge injectors to make it work. I also don't see how the MAF would react to the cool charge of air when its maxed around 4000-4300RPM. I mean its already hard tuning the damn PCM to add fuel after the MAF is maxed. Now think about adding Nitrous alone and tuning the PCM to add more fuel for the Nitrous. Wet kit comes with its fuel supply so no need to add more fuel through the PCM... Just match the right size Nitrous and fuel nozzles and your done. Just my opinion... Good luck.

well what I was planning on doing was running 60 lb injectors and either a dual walbro fuel pump setup or a racetronix cause I want to push this kit as far as it can go on pump gas.

I probably wouldn't spray more than 75, its really to cool the charge down and make that extra power to get me a good et. I was told a 75 would give me a 100 at the wheels which would be perfect.

Not too many people running dual power adders here, I wonder why..

I run an aftercooler, I may have to go to an intercooler down the road if and when I change head units.

If you want to go with 60lbs injectors then just go with a Wet kit. Im running the 60lbs injectors around 75-78% Duty Cycle now at 550rwhp with no Nitrous. A 75shot would yield 100rwhp or so gains on a boosted application so you would be running close to 100% DC if you ran a dry kit. A wet kit will save you running your injectors hard. The Dual pumps is a good idea.

Im planning to run Nitrous later on when i max the D-1SC on a forged 366 CID iron block. I just want to get close to 950-1000rwhp with both power adders even if im not going to use the Nitrous that much. There is a guy on Vette board that dyno'd close to 1000rwhp with a D-1SC and a shot of Nitrous. You should ask him about his setup.

Nah i still have more in them, but not for another 75-100 dry shot thats for sure. Im increasing the boost to 10-11psi to see what kind of numbers i will get. I will see if the injectors would do its job now.
