DRY vs. WET which is better???
DRY vs. WET which is better??? I don't know if this has come up or not, probably has.
After watching TNN over the weekend and seeing what a stock C5 does with N20, a little light clicked on in my head and the gears started turning.
Is a wet system better than a dry system?
How does our plastic intakes handle the wet system? Does it degrade the plastic over time since it was never designed for fuel going through it?
If I ever do N20, I will only do a 75 shot, maybe 100 down the road. The only power mods I have right now are a lid and cutout. LT headers are coming in a few months.
Which is the best kit for my car?
I will probably buy a window switch too for added protection.
Thanks for any replies....

Re: DRY vs. WET which is better??? I think for yoru application (75-100) that a dry kit would work best.
Though both systems have their advantages, for a smaller shot, I'd venture to say a dry system will work best.
Many people have had AMAZING power results from TNT's dry system.

Re: DRY vs. WET which is better??? I agree, with a 75-125 shot dry kit all the way, but after that you should get a wet kit. I'm very happy with my TNT dry kit. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Re: DRY vs. WET which is better??? Billium, I'm in the EXACT same boat as you are! I think I'll eventually go with a dry kit. I haven't been able to find one for the LS1 on TNT's site though.
What kind of headers are you planning on going with? I was stuck on the SLP's, but now with the Hooker's out, my mind is a wondering!

Re: DRY vs. WET which is better??? I'm opposite of the other responses.
I say wet.I hate the idea of the computer adding the right amount of extra fuel.
That's just my opinion though.

Good point, but I believe he's talking about a small shot.
1 of 2 things happens when it goes wrong...n20 nozzle can fail in either situation, but if the fuel noid goes (wet kit) BOOM!

So far it looks like a NOS kit will work great for me.
I was looking at the FLP headers but now that the Hooker headers are out, I am going to wait and see how easy they go in and the quality.
I am only going to do a 75 shot, that way the bottle will last a little long and I still get that big boost in power.

Re: DRY vs. WET which is better??? The way I figure it, the PCM relies on reading the airflow and doing the fuel mix anyways, so why not rely on it to read the extra airflow? Also an intake manifold that was designed for air only has no business flowing fuel IMO.

I can't wait to see results on the hookers...the guy at Jet Hot told me we could get quite a significant discount if we had quite a few of them to be coated!
