because the they don't want to replace the injectors on the car. and it' less of a hit for traction and use. use it only if you need it.

They usually are breaking it up into two stages, for two reasons. The first reason for traction and the other to try to keep it all together. It's less of a strain doing two stages then one large stage. Some people choose a dry first stage so they can have their timing pulled a little and the dry kits are usually more inexpensive.

Yup, using a progressive controller would. It's just another way of doing things.

this is key, dry kits can provide an easy hitting first stage while also pulling timing for a bigger wet stage or two (or three )

I mainly added the second stage dry for the reasons that Matt went over. But the biggest reason I did that over a progressive controller or even another wet stage, was money. I think I only spent $130 to tack on the dry stage, cheap and effective. Plus I think I would pull all my hair out trying to adjust a progessive controller so I get the max out of every pass at the track, and then resetting to work on the street, and trying to get it reset again if I run from a roll. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

What they said, and many feel a dry hit is safer. Another reason to stick a wet into the mix is an easy way to get high octane fuel into the mix (stand alone fuel system). Dry-Wet-Dry, or dry, dry, dry with a propane kicker is the way I will be going. Oh and the last reason, to save a stock bottom end and corvette rear ends. Further more, a nitrous car that spreads the torque out (linear), rather than a all in one wonder mega torque hit, will in fact win more races. Also, much less will/can go wrong on a dry.

so when you start spraying the dry 1st stage it pulls timing by its self or do you still have to pull it with a tuner

There is a how-to write up in my web in the links section.
