All I have to say is wow. We are really not getting anywhere with any of this. I never claimed to be a nitrous guru in this thread or any other thread and juding from what I have seen thus far, I havent seen any either.

The "opinions" I bring up are based off of experience. Things that I have seen many people do. I myself have never installed a dry kit and prob never will not because I dont want to, but because nobody wants one. Why is that? All this "High Tech" dry is available to everybody. The same info 56 gets is available to the whole LS1 community, but yet, post after post after post peeps go wet and choose wet. Hell, the thread title states it all

Im done here. If I would have known it was going to blow up into this pre school playground brawl I wouldnt have posted in the first place.

We are better off without your nonsence. We have put more dry kits on cars than wet FYI and a bunch of our cars use both a wet kit and dry.

More people choose wet cause people like you make **** up.

lol, you mean if you had known other more educated nitrous members were gonna bust your bubble you wouldn't have posted.

I know your not tryin to say Robert & HSW aren't nitrous gurus per say, cause if thats the case your even more uneducated than previously thought in the nitrous department anyway.

Im not getting my bubble busted. I know what I have seen and base off of that. Its good to have peeps on both sides of the fence so people wont listen to just one person. Take a convo and make ones own opinion based off that info is all you can do on here.

Im sorry yall are getting butt hurt about it but we are evidently not on the same page nor I dont think we will be. So agree to disagree.

How can you say dry is not the way to go having never installed or tuned one? Thats like saying you hate vanilla ice cream over chocolate, having never tried it. See my point? There are certain setups where a wet kit is going to out weigh a dry and vice versa. Thats it though, not because the wet is better than dry. Hell if anything look at what these motors were supposed to do. You have an intake designed to flow air, not an air/fuel mixture. So wouldnt it make more sence to do exactly that???

Other than robert no one is saying dry is the way to go. I have experience with both kits in a variety of setups. We've done installs and tuning on everything from single nozzle dry to wet plate kits to multi stage dry/wet direct ports. Some of the best combinations we have run were a setup consisting of BOTH wet and dry kits.

Very well said Mike.

I'm no nitrous guru & have never claimed to be, but I know enough to know you have no clue what your talkin about when you attempt to speak on dry kits & why you believe them to be more unsafe than wet.

And as for Robert, he is a nitrous guru as far as myself & a ton of other members are concerned. If you dont know who he is then you need to do some searches on dry kits. The man has been around on here for years as a technical support style member in this section as well as others. He has YEARS of studying nitrous systems & knows his **** better than most on the board.

He can only educate the willing & you have shown so far your unwilling to accept your wrong about dry kits even after him breaking posts apart & attempting to explain it.

Read Mike. Read. You see multiple people throwing up after vanilla ice cream, im pretty sure your not going to try it. Theres no point made in your post.

We can agree on half your post though. Im not a big internet racer. I dont trust what one has to say unless I see it or do it for myself. These guys can talk till their blue in the face about dry kits and how I dont know what im talking about, but I know. I know what I have seen, I know what works, I know what most people want. I dont sell nitrous kits. I dont sell Nitrous accs. I judge by what people bring me, what I install, what those said vehicles run, and what problems they have if any. There used to be dry kits out the yang around here back in the day but not anymore. Everybody is wet. Why is that? That question has yet to be answered either by you, or dumb and dumber I keep going back and forth with.

Well I dont know him, I dont know his research, I know what I see and evidently hes not publishing it because everybody still goes wet. Im not seeing what the problem is here. I dont judge my choices off of one mans research. Thats stupid and idiotic. Im not saying he doesnt know what hes talkin about, and it seems hes done his homework, but its going to take more than his say so to get me thinking. You, the 4 wheeler guy, and shizznitty whatever arent helping either. Yall arent helping anybody answering the posts the way yall are. Theres no reason for it. Now this thread instead of being helpful, is turned into a pissing match and whats gained out of it? Nothing. Like I told Harris Mike, I know what its like in my court. Im not in your court. A gentlman comes into our courts asking an opinion, we all play ball our way, but your not going to come into my court and teach me how to play ball your way. Your just not. I dunno how many times I gotta say it

Fine by me, I dont mind laughing at the nonsense you post.

Just so you know I have had both Dry and wet kits on MY car.
It has been "fast" with both set ups. They both work its just a different way to introduce the fuel.

My car now has a DRY direct port, its the best kit I have had so far.

Well you must live inside a hole then sir. Robert has a decent footprint around here & has real world R&D to back his statements. At one time he even had a site/page dedicated to dry systems & all the technical knowledge anyone could need to be fully informed about dry nitrous kits.

Oh, here I found it.http://robert5656.webs.com/drytimingpullwriteup.htm

When you come back with better information your opinion might be acknowledged.

And keep playin your way, we could give a **** less. But the fact remains your not gonna be allowed to spew bullshit about how dry kits are so much worse than wet kits without sound proof to back it up. Period.

Did you read any posts in here? We all said BOTH work . You and the other clown are the only ones saying only 1 side works. MY CAR HAD a 2 STAGE WET PLATE ON IT WHEN WE WON PUMP GAS DRAGS. Why would I hate wet kits? .My brothers car had a wet kit. My cousins car has a dry and a wet. same with anothe buddies. Our shop car has a 2 stage dry that makes over 1000 rwhp. They all work. THe tune is more important than any parts you have.
