So what's wrong with wet nitrous? I ran a wet kit on my vette and I loved it.

I didn't say anything was wrong with a wet kit, a dry kit is just a quick, simple, cheap way to boost hp and run with these 5.7s, 6.0s, and soon to find out what'll do wit the 6.2.

The L99 cars are so heavy, a well modified LS4 with a good driver should do fine...

Dry might be fine for like, a 25-shot, and I know people will run as much as 75 or 100 dry, but I've never felt comfortable with spraying any amount without adding fuel and upgrading the fuel pump. And with the LS4 car's propensity for knock, I think any amount of N2O needs to be accompanied by a good tune.

I'd say a 75 or 100 wet shot, on a window switch, with timing pulled, only spraying in 2nd and 3rd...

Definitely need a window switch with our weak trannys.

I totally agree, a window is very important.
