Dry to Wet????? Help!!!!
Then you have the fact that one solenoid & nossle/jet will have less pressure drop (in the line) than 8 of em. Dry shots hit harder for that reason combined with a denser charge.
Judging by demeanor, I don't think there is no convincing ya'll. So instead of debating me, save it. You guys are right, I'm wrong. I mean ****, with a name like nitrous dave..he must know EVERYTHING

Ive been on ls1.com and ls1tech since they started.I dont have alot of posts but I know my stuff and I'm on and off ls1 tech everydayday.
Anyway like I said sorry for the rant.Its ok to clown know it all newbies,it just bothers me when someone throws out their post count.
Judging post count is not much difference than judging by signature or avatar really. The most nitrous experienced guys out there don't even post on this forum.
I think a dry system would hold its own against a DP up to 400-shot and maybe a little beyond.
When someone finally produces the theoretical "closed throttle" system, it will be dry.
One big reason I like DP besides the distribution issue is the ease of running a dedicated fuel system for the N2O.
The DP does have its disadvantages though. One being that it absorbs far less heat from the intake charge. There is just too much area allowing pressure drop and heat absorbtion compared to a simpler system.
I don't have a ton of post here but I do have 8000 of em in a nitrous forum. That must count for something
Kind of funny how your GODs had all day to post but said nothing. Maybe I'm just making too much sense
come one, please send some more condesending post my way, O godz of juice.

great! thanks everyone for all the help!
I'm not saying wet is better than dry or vise versa.
But I do step in when there are false claims.
You can't possibly say that a dry kit maks a more dense charge than a wet kit. That makes no sense what so ever. If you are actually refering to the density of the charge, it is purely dependant to the ammount of nitrous and or fuel that makes it up. Now, assuming you are comparing a single fogger wet kit to a single fogger dry kit jetted at the same level, and measuring the density of the charge in the manifold, then the wet kit will definelty have a more dense charge than the dry kit because it also atomized fuel.
Now, if you look at the temperature drop in the manifold they will be very similar too since the same ammount of nitrous is sprayed in each, but again the wet kit will have a slightly colder charge than the dry since it also atomized the fuel. I'm sure its a very small ammount compared to the ammount of nitrous, but none-the-less the wet kit has to provide a colder charge.
*edit,
Also saying thats why dry makes more power than wet is completely false. Look at any of the wet vs dry debates. It almost always ends with both kits can definelty make power when set up right, even Robert and White can agree with that, and they are the 2 most die-hard dry kit users I can think of.
I'm not saying either will make more power than the other. I like both approaches, in fact my stage1 is dry 200hp and stage 2 is wet 150hp.
Just trying to keep facts straight.
and like white 2001 said" I love debates", I always seem to learn some new thing from everyone.

A larger dry N2O shot would easily outpower a wet system due simply to the fact that evaporating N2O absorbs tons more heat energy than evaporating fuel. Trying to jet a wet system up to a very high level would be disasterous and probably launch the intake manifold into orbit.
Smaller shots give some advantage to wet, but when the % of N2O goes on up in relation to the amount of ambient air, the advantage goes to the dry. Not only that but the distribution error grows quickly to a point of failure if you try to reach a large power level with the wet system.
