Dry kits doo hit hard.... Here's a launch of my car on my second shakedown run of this year. Turned out a new best as well. Still needs some tuning and bugs being worked out but all in all very please.
My nitrous kit utilizes a boost referenced regulator for all my fueling. Thanks to Archie King at USA motorsports here in town for flowing everything for me and walking me through the installation of the vacuum lines and what not.

What do you think??? I like this dry kit over my normal spin off of the 5177 kit. I picked up .2 going to a boost referenced regulator and using this setup vs the traditional kit on these cars. Im happy and I know there is more in this setup. Its definitely making the torque. Now it just needs a little more HP

thanks for the props. It will be tweaked from here. Gotta keep that nose down now and just let the car carry the wheels a few inches...Its not exactly a lightweight. Most likely around 3350 with me in the car.

This was a last minute deal since we were supposed to go to a track Saturday to race some Houston boys in KECHME's car. The shop workers talked me into putting my kit back on my car and they'd loan me the tires to race another guy here in town that runs his head alot. I lined up with him on the first pass and the video that is up is my last pass of the night after a little tuning.

I understand everything except how you can still spray in front of the MAF. How is that not adding fuel as well? I have ran this type of system on my other cars, but they are all MAP sensor cars, not MAF.

Good job man!! Dry kits not hitting hard is a common myth, because most people that run dry kits dont have the proper tune.. For the most part we reccomend wet kits for the simplicity, but dry kits have more power potential when done "correctly".. We have sprayed 600hp dry on our test sb, and let me tell ya if your not dead nuts on the tune you will be spending alot of time knocking pistons in a motor..

Yes, the tune is the key for sure...AS well as the fuel being supplied. Ive run wet kits myself and even used yours on my car with no avail...The dry kit just outperformed it. I had 2 kits on the car for awhile, 150 on each and you could tell when the dry was on and when the wet was on. Activating one and the other turning off was a surprisingly huge difference. So i just kept the dry and sold the TNT kit. And now im using this style kit...Ill push the limits one day but for now im going to tweak on the pills i got and see what she likes.
