When I get finished installing my spray I will be close to 150k, going to be hitting it with a dry shot.

Look out for the hypertech tune though, you don't want your timing advanced, and need a safe A/F ratio.

i thought the hypertech advances the timing some. I'd take that off or you might run into some problems. Otherwise I have a 125 shot wet on my 130,xxx lt1 and i'm thinkin about running up to a 150 next season.

Dry is kinda how it sounds, dry. Wet is the ones that go in the injector hole and spray with the injectors.

At least I think that's it lol

^^You're thinking of a direct injection set up, wet shot's are tied into the fuel system with a fuel solenoid, dry shots are just sprayed into the intake usually throught the CAI and it goes from there.

the wet kits are just as easy as the dry to setup. Just screw the fuel line onto the fuel rail on the back passenger side of the fuel rail. Its a very simple install. I just screwed my nozzle into the intake elbow infront of the throttle body. I really like my zex wet kit b/c its very easy to install and does everything i want it to.

My brother has 132,000 miles on his Z28 convertable and with a tune for Nitrous and long tube headers and a hell of a tune up, 4.10's + a 175 shot he is easly in the 11's. His car is stock as hell. It handles the wet shot like a champ. He got the nitrous works setup and it works like a champ. Make sure if you can to have your car tuned for nitrous though. G-force does great nitous tunning so if you happen to get a few bucks together.. get it tuned so that you are not running lean on the bottle. Thats what takes your motor out. Running lean on nitrous. TRUST ME.
