Default decisions,decisions

NOS guys give a loyal member some help. Please think through your answers OK? Some background, for the next year and a half my options are limited. My setup currently is as follows,pretty mild really(see sig) As far as my NOS setup I have the 5177 along with the Ractronics pump. The kit is mounted and looks great. My problem is 2 fold. #1 N/A my duty cycle is at 94% not good when adding spray but I would rather stay dry. Although I purchased a wet conversion kit from Nitro Dave it would require rewiring and remounting basically the whole setup, I would not mind doing this if the results were way above I would see with going to larger injectors with a good tune. Keep in mind this is not my DD and I can afford to run 100+ plus octane gas anytime that I would be srayingof course going to 38-42 injectors and tuning to the best results when using the spray. I may be stubborn but on a small 100-125 shot I perfer the dry setup. What do you guys think? thanks Ken

I would stay dry, until you get board, when add a 2nd stage wet.

I think at 94% NA if you run a dry shot you may be looking at an expensive repair build as you will surely be running lean (80% duty cycle max NA or N2O). Your plugs may turn into blow torches. Even NA you should up size those injectors with the added benifit of being now able to run your dry shot safely. You can find used svo 30lb injectors for less than 200 dollars. If I remember correctly the ford svo 30's run at about 37lb rating at ls1/ls6 fuel pressures. Even if you go wet up size injectors would be advised. This may apply if you don't up size the injectors for dry: if ya can't pay don't spray.

I have nothing against a dry kit.But if you have the parts Put them on.The performance difference will speak for its self.Ask the guys here that have went from dry to wet if they regret it.That seems to be more of the answer you are after.Oh and tank ypou for purchasing your system from us.

Ken, put the 36 lbers in and let it go. Come over to the dyno and I'll dial you in for spray.

did you do the hotwire mod on the fuel pump?
It does sound like you could use new injectors one way or another
