Are you positive that it is truly giving you 100HP... dyno numbers... what brand kit... traction issues? I can think of a dozen reasons why you only ran another 4 tenths that you haven't listed.

Re: dry nitrous sucks Wet kit....dry kit...blah blah blah <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> . Id say its more related to setup than differences in wet or dry. My dry hits plenty hard...my wet kit hits plenty hard. 950 is not enough pressure for the dry. If you dont have a bottle heater get one and get pressure to 1050-1150. Then spray...youll see the HP. Id say people think a wet gives more power because they generally run at 900-950 which is easily acheived at normal ambient temps. So the wet kit probably tends to run right due to correct flow of nitrous through the jets as per manufacturer at that PSI. The dry kits for LS1s like a lil more pressure. Besides...if its setup right, AF ratio is correct...what ever HP comes out is basically what your spraying. I dont like general manufacturers HP ratings. To me they mean nothing except a general starting point.
PS...when my car is setup to run dry only..the 200 shot nets approx 200 hp with bottle pressure at 1150 psi. With bottle presure at 975 it was approx 145-150 same pills just lower psi. Thats a 25% drop in HP. This was done on a dyno.

Re: dry nitrous sucks with my NOS 5117, dual nozzle 100 shot i went from 8.30 at 83.5 mph ,to 7.41 at 92.5 mph in the 1/8 with no other changes.
my dry 100 shot kicks like a mule!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
get your pressure up to 1050 lbs and try again.

Re: dry nitrous sucks Hey guys my plugs are at 35 and they are TR'6.I start spraying about 2700 or 2800.You guys are get alot more out of your kits.What do I need to do. Thanks
Re: dry nitrous sucks johnster,are you spraying your single nozzle straight at the mass air or away from. if its straight at it,i heard that it can possibly freeze the wires and run pig rich. turn the nozzle around if thats the case, and retry. just an idea.Good luck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
and i spray right out of the hole,probably should wait till 2500 or more.but,i don't.

Re: dry nitrous sucks Ok guy got a bottle heater.Going back to the track on friday night.i will get the psi up to 1150 or so and see what it does and let yall know.
Re: dry nitrous sucks johnster,for what it's worth , you should keep the bottle pressure below 1100 psi or it will turn from nice liquid form into a gas and give you less of a gain. i was told that by a friend that sprays his GTO and runs (7's),so i trust him. I hope you get teh times your looking for ,
goodluck. Oh by the way with your 98 i would not worry about uppin the jet to .055 and sprayin
a 125 shot.A friend from my our car club hsa a 98 SS and sprays all the time with 150 jet,on the dyno he was still very safe on the 125 jet(his car). With your 98 and bigger injectors i would think your plenty good. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />
