Default "Wet" to "Dry" Trend...?

I've been hitting FBod boards since '99 and I have seen things change over the years.

One thing I have noticed lately is that dry kits are getting popular again. For a while there, the "wets" gained a huge share of the marktet. I think TNT helped to do that with their well known "big bang" F1 kit.

But now it seems dry is back. And I just bought a wet kit

Yep...I remember 99Redhawk (Brook) was spraying crazy dry shots back in the day and lots of dry kits were sold. Then it went wet...now its a mix.

Dont worry about your wet kit. It will work just fine.

Thanks neighbor

Yeah, I'm still a little paranoid after all these years. I will be running at Moroso with the NX kit in the fall when the temps drop to a chilly 80* .

I will also be at BMP on 12/17 with a track rental. BTW, Jeremy Formato did my complete NA tune.

Yea, you gotta love the TNT F1. Dry is gaining some ground and I predict it will continue to gain. A dual (n/a and n2o in one) tune is in the works and looks very promising. I think the dry hit will have a place inbetween about a 150hp wet and the mongo big direct port hits. Also, it's a nice easy, safe small hit with no real changes to users stock engine/tune. Now with that said, wet kits are pretty easy to set-up also to a point, bigger hp levels being a little more involved, also. Actually, I think n2o in general is gaining on other power adders.

Brook actually used a dry 1st stage with a mondo TNT power ring wet second stage...He tried activating both off the line once and the destruction on that stock bottom Ls1 was quite amazing.

A crossbreed .... Fireball used a similar setup back in the days when he earned his username.
