I like the dry system with 75-100 shot if thats the most your gonna run. Simple install, plugs and a good tune your good to go. You can do the same with the wet setup as well and if you wanna go higher its easier to do so with the wet. Ive done both in the past so in this subject wet vs dry your going to get alot of opinions.

If you go with a wet kit you don't need injectors, with a dry shot you will need bigger injectors.

Im on a stock clutch and have been for about 10 bottles and 15k miles. No problems yet the stock stuff is tougher then most think. I dont launch the car though.

I like wet and the differance between 75 and 100 is very minimal as far as feel goes.

If you want to be on the safe side start with 50 just to get the feel and confidence. Then after some 50 hits jump to 100. If you are concerned about your clutch make sure to set your window switch very consivatively.

100 shot all day long will have no noticable effects on the longevity of the car, as long as it is done correctly.

100 wet shot is pretty simple, I'd go with that. I dont think I'd run a 75 shot with a progressive.

Don't waist your time with your local shop unless you are hardcore about keeping your money local.

You will spend a lot more. And everything you get from NO is as good or better then the big name stuff that is local to you.
