Well me and a freind of mine got into a HUGE arguement! He says that a Wet kit makes MORE power and I say it Doesn't but I haven't taken sides. I say that they make the SAME power but the WET makes more torue. He thinks that the wet is better and it is safer than a DRY. I don't think the WET is as safe as the DRY b/c the wet puts fuel into the intake. He also says that the dry will tear more things up when something does go wrong and it backfire or doesn't take. I know that it could still blow a whole in a piston or something, but wouldn't a wet hurt more than a dry(since there is more fuel)??

I beleive that covers it. I will probably hear more from his a$$ soon and if any more subjects come up I'll post them too! LOL

In actuallity your both wrong...

Horsepower produced is a function of combustable fuel and available oxygen. Assuming both kits were tuned properly they would make the same power (torque or HP). With bottle pressure, solenoid size, hardware and jetting variables held constant the HP is determined by how much fuel is delivered and burned with the aide of N2O. Installation, tuning and other factors may play into why certain off the shelf kits perform otherwise but pit a purpose built Direct-port dry vs a purpose built Direct-port wet SFI motor against one another and you are gonna see the same numbers.

I get the power part now. But doesn't NX do their power ratings by the Rear Wheels and NOS and TNT do their by the Flywheel correct?(that maybe backwards)

Any comments on the safety part of it?

 

I know TNT uses rear wheel horsepower, I am almost certain NOS uses flywheel horsepower, not to sure about NX. I agree on the wet and dry kits making the same power except I think you can make more power in the long run with a wet kit. On a stock Fbody you would be able to make sligtly more power with a wet kit then a dry because the injectors can't handle much over a 100 shot. Both have saftey draw backs and can blow a motor if not properly injected.

The difference between kits made and sold for specific cars probably had alot to do with the idea one type was better than the other. Dry kit "X" made 100 rwhp and wet kit "Y" made 125 on what both manufacturers called a "100 shot". But thats more of a function of how the nitrous kit manufacturer has it setup. The only thing I can see being a problem holding back a wet kit would be inferior nozzles resulting in a bad atomization of the extra fuel. But most nozzles made today are excellent in this catagory.

All thing being eqaul; Fuel atomization, tune, bottle pressure, fuel to oxidizer ratio etc....HP should be equal between wet and dry.
