Why shouldn't I switch to dry (vs. wet)? I am thinking of switching over to a dry system instead of my existing (unused) wet setup. I don't need alot of spray (125 shot max) and it just seems to me that a dry system would have less likelyhood of something going wrong. The maf would take care of the additional fuel needed, eliminating the lean spike wet systems sometimes see, and if bottle pressure changed, the a/f wouldn't be affected. I guess I don't see why I should stay with my wet system? If I needed more spray then it would be another story. But a 125 shot should be plenty for me. For now.....
What size injectors are you running with your H/C set up and what fuel pump? Not to many people stay satisfied with a 100-125 shot, everybody usually ups it. Also what wet kit did you already buy?

I have 42# injectors and the racetronix pump. If I need more power than that I will either build a stroker or go DP. I have a bastard kit with NOS solenoids, which I am going to replace before spraying, as they are old and very small.
Do I have to descreen the maf on a dry kit? Won't that cause issues with it?

Well, your fuel set up should be able to easily support a dry 125, I think it's a toss up if you want to go dry or wet. Both have their benefits. I would descreen the MAF for the dry just to make sure that it doesn't ice up. 
If you have svo 42lb'ers (49's at our press) you can likely go bigger than 100/125 if you like, or when ready. I have 42's and looking at 550/600 total hp, in multi stage dry. No problems I can see, and a good move, imo. To bad the question wasn't why should I, as I would have mucho for that side of the debate. Make sure timing is in check and log a/f and you'll be good to. tuning is always the key if going bigger.

And I've been told not to descreen my maf, why? I really hate to mess with my tune. It may be fat but its safe and runs pretty good (11.5 @116 with a 3700 lb. raceweight on drag radials).
