Running dual nitrous solenoids on a wet kit Just curious if anyone out there is running (or thought of running) dual nitrous solenoids on a wet kit? I would like to hear your well thought-out feedback on this.
From all the solenoid failures I've seen and read on many forums, the most common one is the nitrous solenoid sticking opened. So I'm thinking if we run dual nitrous solenoids, it will greatly reduce this risk. If one sticks opened, you still have the other to save your day. Of course you still won't know when one goes out (stuck open), so you still have to check it frequently.
The reason I did not mention anything about running dual fuel solenoids is because it's useless on the wet kit. You're screwed, if either one of the fuel solenoids sticking closed. And having more than one will greatly increase this chance of failure
So what do you think? Is it worth $100 (cost of a new nitrous solenoid) to run dual nitrous solenoids on a wet kit? Is there any potential problems that I've overlooked?
