Thanks Robert, good info and I think I was reading your earlier posts wrong on the puddling issue with these two intakes concerning the backfires. It's all good though.
Glad to hear you got that bike running, it's always a blast isn't it? And yea, I too tend to get more attention than nice cars do most of the time.
As for my nitrous system, I didn't like the way the switches were mounted so I removed them and am fabbing up some new mounts using different switches. Plus the fact that I completely broke the coil cover from vibration (the switches were mounted to the underside of the cover). I am going to try and get everything rewired so it will be operational by the San Antonio race.
I'm done jacking your thread Dave, please continue,lol.

Safer than ever refers to times, all the way back to 70's, where it could be a crap shot on a nitrous run. Many many reasons why. No they are not what they have allways been. I installed my first wet kit in about 1977 and it survived, but plenty of guys blew their motors apart. nozzle design is part of it but not the whole story. 90% plus of all the kits I have installed have been wet. But, for the lsx platform my belief, based on the facts and practical knowledge/use, is dry is a little bit safer. I am in negotations for a MAF kit for my vette, that should tell you what I think of a well designed wet kit.

So help me understand here...the other problems, aside from the atomizing agent, ie the nozzle, had to be solenoids or jets being inconsistent? Since jets are pretty much jets as long as they don't clog up...I can see inconsistent solenoid operation causing loading up on nitrous. What else outside add on features like a window switch could cause problems. Still talking about something past a design that was not meant to perpetuate the flow of anything but a pure gas (ex. air) vs. a liquid albeit atomized like 93 octane mixed with nitrous gas?
