I have been running N20 kits on all my cars for about 15yrs , I have used them all , On late model fuel injected cars under 125hp , Dry kits are the way to go and are safer then wet in my experance , I have never heard of anyone having problems with the N.O.S dry or the TnT dry , Thats not to say that problems never occur , But check most boards and see how many wet kits have puddled and messed up intake and lids etc. , You tend to see alot ! Either way with either kit , If you don't use your head and be smart , You have no bussiness using Nitrous !

Good Luck !

And Billy shall be addin a Dry Kit to my SS very very soon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I must be dense or something. Cuz I can't grasp the logic behind the belief that dry systems can't be trusted cuz the PCM has to add the additional fuel. Yet, we trust the PCM to control everything else without a second thought. I guess the next step in that logical progression is to ditch that unreliable PCM and go with a carb and a N20 plate. Oh, yeah, need a distributor (with points), coil, etc.....

I am calling Kinsler for a mechanical injection set up right now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I would go with a dry kit to avoid the more complicated wet kit if your new to n2o the dry kit is almost idiot proof. The wet kit has a lot of variables like bottle press. fuel press.the computer is smarter than all of us let it do the work.

They are both safe to use if you know what you are doing and you set it up right, the most important thing to focus on is fuel delievery... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'm no expert by far but the way I see it a dry system would have to be considered safer than a wet system....I'm only talking about a 100 hp shot or less.

DRY SYSTEM:

There is no fuel solenoid, therefore no chance of failure.

The dry kits I have looked at are equiped with two inline nitrous solenoids. I would think the chances of both failing at the same time would be very unlikely.

WET SYSTEM:

Has one fuel solenoid...what happens if it fails, kaboom ??

Has one nitrous solenoid....... what happens if it fails, kaboom??

High bottle pressure could cause a lean condition....kaboom!

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I just feel there are less parts to fail on a dry system. BTW I have a 02 SS that I'm considering sprayin.

Thanks Mike

DRY - relies on injectors..if it fails....kaboom
DRY - relies on MAF..if it fails......kaboom
ETC.....
they both have there faults ive run a wet kit from day one and ive had 2 back fires in 5 yrs (knock on wood) not hurting nothing more than my lid.
i boils down to how well you have your kit installed and the safty you put into it ( ie..wot switch fpss. etc..) id go with what you feel comfortable with and look for facts not opinons when you make your choice. good luck <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

I am running a Nitrous Works Kit with 100HP Wet. The injector has a chart for calibrations of different power levels. They tend to run alittle rich. If you bottle pressure is low or the Nitrous solenoid fails it just sprays extra fuel. There is no damage to the car for a rich condition( i know, my bottle has ran dry before.) All it does is bog the engine then the computer tries to change the injector pulse to reduce the rich condition. I don't like the idea of a dry system because I don't want the computer controlling the A/F of the nitrous. Besides, I can run a 150HP shot with my wet system. A dry you have to get bigger injectors.

I've used a wet system for years and have not had a problem! I had a dry nos system on a 95 imp. ss .Lasted about 3 months,KABBOOM! A 20 lp injecter is designed to flow just that.If you stack the pressure to much a chance of failure is great! Thats what happened to the impala ss of mine!I put a new motor in and changed to a wet system,Never had another problem!I'm not stupid when it comes to n2o !I have a 69 Nova SS with a 500 hit NX sytem! I know the gas pretty good!!!Been using it for years!

I had a dry shot for a while, I didnt like the PCM controlling the A/F either, sometimes it hit really hard and sometimes it was ok. and yes dry kits put a huge load on your fuel injectors, and fuel pump, so a wet shot only puts a load on one of them. I like the idea of wet, and as long as you maintain adequete fuel pressure you shouldnt have a problem with it.

Another bad point about dry kits is that nobody has brought up yet is that it may not mix evenly in the cumbustion chamber. If you get half of the motor loaded with spray and then the other half with nothing <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> A wet kit might not mix perfectly either (unless its a direct port) but you won't have one killer lean cyclinder and one killer rich one.

I think if your only looking for an added 100 hp or so, a dry kit is an excellent choice, especially for an LS1 and its kick *** MAF/computer. Right now I have a 100 dry and a 100 wet. Neither really makes me worry though.
