Default WET or DRY on a small shot

I have a 01 cammed Z making 450hp/440tq. Car is a dedicated show car but makes its trip to the track every now and again. Looking at no more then a 75hp shop. With the sales going I am going to get a kit. What is best for such a small hit OR is it again one of those life long decisions. HAHA

Wet shot would be better typically for any shot over 50.

If you don't have larger than stock injectors I'd say the dry shot is out of the question so I'd reccomend wet. I'm running the HSW wet kit on my car.

Nope I have 48lb injectors so fuel is not an issue. I dont want to returne the car though. Might just go wet for the look and safety.

Well if your tuner went for max effort on motor (ie. as much timing as it can handle), it would be ill advised to run any nitrous without running it on the dyno at the very least with some sort of data logging. Or have your tuner pull a couple degrees of timing globally or just from say 3k-limiter to be safe.. that should only take them minutes to accomplish and probably wouldn't even charge you for it. Then take it to the dyno and adjust the a/f ratio with your fuel jetting.

Yeah Vince you are correct that would be smart. I might even look at it myself. I do have HP Tuners and a Wideband in the car so I to can street tune it a bit if needed. I am going to just go wet.

Good idea, should be a piece of cake for you then. You are gonna love even than little shot of juice. My car is roughly 6 cars faster from a quick 40-125 pull with just the 80 shot (.044 n2o/.024 fuel).

Good luck!
