Very interesting link. (N20 Experts, please read). The Multi stage Dry kits are safer than wet kits and safer than direct ports as well. "No" you say? read this as it shocked me too:

Warning. Link is 2 pages long but very interesting (to me it was at least).
Any opinions, thoughts, responses?
can 500RWHP/500RWTQ be reliable on LS1s?
The guy seems to make sense if you ask me.

Re: Very interesting link. (N20 Experts, please read). I was thinking about doing a large dry kit on my '02. I already have the 42 lb injectors, rails, and pumps left over from a prior project. I think a 200 or larger shot could be done very safely on a stock bottom end if attention to LS1 edit tuning were taken. Not spraying at too much at too low an RPM is key.
Re: Very interesting link. (N20 Experts, please read). Lol...yeah...that guy is a genius.
Really you could go dual stage dry/wet with equal results. The only reason I said all dry is for simplicity of the setup. You could really just get an NOS 5177 kit and buy a few extra lines and fittings and dual window switches and spray up to 250 dry. Easy as can be to install. Asuuming you have the pump and injectors already.
But if you use all dry be sure the tuner has experiance in setting something like that up.
You could easily go dry/wet if you wanted.
Using dry then wet allows for small changes in the AF by using jets alone. And by using dry first then wet will allow you to take advantage of the dry tuning to get a hold of timing, but at the same time the wet shot will be activated at higher rpm...which is good.
That stock bottom end car making 600 rwhp in that thread went to the track with me last Friday...we were hoping for some mid to high tens at ~130 mph. Instead he shattered the rear after the first foot...lol.
I do believe large dry shots are safer than large wet shots on a normal (non direct port) setup. But I think large direct port shots are as safe or safer than any other method. Abouth the only thing safer that I can think of would be direct port dry using something like the Accel Gen VII DFI with the dry nitrous control...that would kick ***!
