Question about wet vs. dry..... Is it true that with a wet shot the #7 and #8 cylinders will run leaner than the rest?
And with a dry shot the #7 and #8 cylinders will run richer than the rest?
If true, than the dry shot is the obvious best choice as far as reducing the chance of damage goes.
I don't know whether or not to get a 150 dry shot or a TNT 150 wet.
And with a dry shot the #7 and #8 cylinders will run richer than the rest?
If true, than the dry shot is the obvious best choice as far as reducing the chance of damage goes.
I don't know whether or not to get a 150 dry shot or a TNT 150 wet.
I have no solid factual proof of that...although it seems that way. I think with proper tuning and good plug reading you should be able to set up either for a safe condition. Just run a bit richer to cover the leanest cylinders.

I guess with a wet shot if the fuel/nitrous gets eaten up by the front 6 cylinders it'll leave the back two with its own air and fuel, so I guess it should always be OK.
This is confusing ****, leave it to the tuners I guess.

Ok, maybe dry, this rich in the back clyinders could happen if n2o is injected too close to maf and doesn't mix well with oxygen? However ,I think this is remote as the n2o should be evenly mixed with oxygen because it is vapor not a heavy liquid. If what your saying is true then NA the engine would pull the oxygen into the front 6 cylinders first and possibly cause a rich condition in back two cylinders. I don't think this is happening because the engineers have tuned the runners to evenly distribuate the air, and for us running dry, the air/n2o mix. Anyone have problems with rear clyinders on dry? I haven't noticed any rich condition on my plugs. Robert

Read your plugs after a few N2O runs and you'll get an idea of what is happening.
I shoot up to 200 dry and after a couple of runs, I can tell the 7/8 plugs are running a little richer, but meaningless really.
DP eliminates this problem along with "puddling and backfires" in wet systems.
