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.
No hole here. I just take internet talk with a grain of salt. I dont doubt 56 at all that he has knowledge on the subject. Its either that or hes a excellent bullshitter like most of the people on forums. Makes it hard to know who to trust. My opnion is acknowledged, just not by yall, which just happens to be the dry clan of LS1 Tech evidently.

My opinion will still continue to roll in as I see it. Its just something yall are going to have to get over. Untill "sound proof" as you put it is seen by me, then your opnions are just as "retarded" as mine imo. Im in the same fleet as yall. Just in a different boat.

We went 5.50 @ 130 on a 275 radial last weekend on a 300 shot. I think we can put the dry kits don't work argument out the window. And "Guesswho" has been plenty fast years ago dry.

but your nitrous jet sizes were twice that of a wet kit, so really a 150 wet would have gotten you there lol.

How many ****** members running either both kits currently or each individually in the past with hands on experience do you need to step up & tell you your wrong? We know your gonna down play the nitrous sponsors just b/c "they are tryin to make a sale" even if they have real world proof of their claims along with time slips & multiple people running consistant times without a single issue.

It's great you take internet talk with a grain of salt. But at some point you need to learn to listen to those more educated on a particular subject than yourself. Maybe it'll open your eyes cause of right now they are shut to reality. There are certain people on this board who you'd be wise to listen to, you just have to know who those people are.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when your wrong about a certain subject at least be man enough to admit it & ask for a good explaination of why instead of continuing to go on in the wrong direction with incorrect information just b/c you refuse to believe something. Thats just ****** retarded. And thats also how this bullshit about dry kits gets spread, by uneducated people talkin out their *** about something they know VERY little about.

Hey Mike or Robert or HSW guys........

Do you guys think you'll ever combine the microedge and the interface????

It'd be sweet just to have one box that did all that

Please guys, a little less agressive would be nice.

Thank you to all who took the time to post here.

I personally would prefer to spend double on a kit that I can feel safe using regularly, and be reliable, than a cheaper 'spray & pray' method. My car is precious to me, and I'd hate to fu@% it up, or have to spend an unexpected $5K.........

I realise that a properly set up kit, wet or dry, can be considered safe.
I guess I'm leaning towards the dry just because IF something goes wrong, it generally seems the wet kit blowing the manifold, and as was said, the intake wasn't designed for a/f mixture.

I'm still new to n2o, so mabey someone could answer these for me?
I see a 120 shot can be basicly straped on (with safety kit), with no engine mods.
And for a 150 shot I should upgrade the pump and injectors.

1. How big a shot can I go with after upgrading the pump and injectors (And keep it reliable) before something else breaks?

2. What is the next stage of reinforcement that would need to be done, and is it too difficult for a novice to do ? Expensive ? How high a hp could I go then (reliably)

(Trying to find out the limitations of the LS1)

I'm trying to limit damage to my stock A4 tranny and 10 bolt rear end........

FWIW, I'm more likely to spray roll racing from 30 mph up to 90 mph (At the track of corse )

I'm thinking of running a dry plate after the MAF with interface (probably 150hp, or bigger depending on the work involved ) , progressive controler, 1st gear lockout, spraying at over 3000 RPM with a window and WOT switch, blow off valve, remote opener, A/F shutdown, timing tuner, bottle heater and nitrous filter.
I will upgrade the fuel pump and injectors, plugs, and get a dyno tune.
I'm not really into gauges, I'd prefer the system to override my spraying than me decide in the seat if I'm going to spray or not.

3. Anything I'm missing / got wrong, could make better / safer ?

I know I'm probably going over the top for the relatively small shot's I'll be running compaired to some of you guys.

4. IF this system goes too rich or lean it will cut off the spray, right ?

Thanks for all the help, I'm sure pleased I looked more in to N2O after I originally wrote it off as far too dangerous / unsafe.....

SLowETz, that pic looks very impressive
P.S Robert, your PM box is overflowing lol.........
