Default Wet or Dry; which do you find to be the better system and WHY??

I was curious about this since I've seen a dozen differrent posts on various forums contradicting the use of the other's system.

Anyone care to shed some technical light on this for me??

i like wet kits better. I would rather have the extra fuel coming from the fuel rail, instead of relying on the computer to add the extra fuel. Plus with a wet kit you dont need to upgrade your fuel injectors.

Some body should just write something up on this. This question comes up all the time.

all depends on your application.

I personally like WET kits (NX prefered, but i have no hands on expierence with TNT)

I have expierence with ZEX, NOS (dry) and NOS (wet) and Compucar in a bag setup.

All are good for adding a good bang for the buck. I like the wet as it adds fuel with the N20.

IMO....and this is for the LS1 only. I have not seen a high rate of failure for either type that would lead me to believe one is worse than the other. For a smaller shot of 100 or less I like the dry kits. Mostly for simplicity. Anything over that, my current opinion is wet kits the way to go.

Thanks for the replies! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I was just very curious because I see die-hard wet/dry guys defending and, in some instances, criticizing the other system.

IMO, Dry or Direct port. I don't like the idea of flowing fuel through a dry manifold.

well, i had the TNT wet kit, and i loved it and never had a problem. now i'm going to try out the TNT dry kit and see how it works. i really have no preference as of yet. i'd really like the new NOS direct port injection. but that's not financially gonna happen. i like the idea of fuel being added by the fuel rails too. i'm a little scared of letting the MAF and computer do the work. BUT....a LOT of people have run the nos dry kit for years with no problems, so i guess it works. we will see....
