Default Anybody sprayin' yet?

I just installed a 100 dry shot on my Impala. I'm having a ton of fun with it. I was wondering if anyone else was on the bottle as well. If so what's your setup?

How easy was it to install? You got any pics? What did it cost you? Thanks!

i started with a 60 dry.
then 60 wet
then 120 wet.

just be careful, and find a way to monitor the a/f of your car. i went to a wet shot because i couldnt' get the nozzle positioned right. either it wouldn't work right, or it would freeze the mas air. if the mas air freezes, the a/f sky rockets.

I got the LS1 Dry kit from dynotune. Just look them up on ebay. For about $300.00 the whole kit is delivered to your door. The install was a piece of cake. I was intimidated at first but all the instructions are clear and easy to follow. If you can hook up a stereo, you can install this kit.

I mounted the nozzle on the end of my K&N to keep it away from the MAF ensuring an even spray across the MAF.

Here is the WOT microswitch:

I put the arm switch here:

I ran the car for the first time saturday @ the streetwarz party at my local track. I've never raced before. It's only 1/8 mile. With the 75hp jet in the car I ran a 9.29 @ 80mph, spinning the crap out of the tires. It was 83 degrees and the humidity was 88%. I cut a 60ft of 2.23. It's not the best time but I know I can do better. It was still faster than all the turbo VW's, ?????'s and Lightning's that were there. The tranny seems fine, I ease into the throttle so I think it will be fine. I'll keep you guys posted as i use it more and more. I'm having alot of fun with it. Hopefully it stays fun.

Once armed, the sytem only engages at full throttle. I ease into the gas to prevent wheelspin, usually I'm at 4-4500 RPM before the juice kicks in. I'm still playing with my launch technique.

just a word of warning. let off the gas a bit between shifts. well, let off enough that it deactivates the nitrous/wot switch, wait till it completes the shift, then lay back into it.

And that would save from spraying into the redline before each shift, saving the tranny.

Whats the chance that a dealership could tell you had a kit hooked up. I'd like to put a 50-75 shot on but dont want to mess with my warrenty. -steve (it be a wet kit) That and would I have to swap out plugs for that small of a shot?

You can conceal it somewhere in the air filter and hide the solenoids/nozzles well, and to the untrained eye...its tough to spot.

i had the invisible dry shot on my gxp. the noids were under the front drivers headlight, and the line run through the stock opening in the air box. no one could tell i had it, unless i showed it to them. the dealer was none the wiser. if you take it in for tranny work, pull it. they will find it this way

That what I mean. If it had to go in for somrthing major then I'd pull it. But I just dont want to spray and blow up my tranny and have the dealer say they wont do anything. Area What size shot were you running.
