Hard hitting Dry kit? What exactly determines how hard a dry kit will hit when it comes on? Does nozzle direction play a roll? What about how many nozzles or how many openings (in reference to the Halo kit)

nozzle placement will change your overall a/f depending on the placement.

thats a good question man i dont know, but i have the 5177 kit and at first i was spraying a 75 and yes i felt it but not what i expected then i switched to a 100 shot and man what a difffrence the pulled like a ****.

Ultimately you are wanting all or as much of the nitrous to be mixed with the air in the airbox before passing through the MAF so you don't have a "stream" of nitrous going past the MAF wires on one side or the other correct?
If you have a "stream" going to one side or the other of the MAF wires it will cause a lean condition, where if you have it hitting the wires directly it might be a little rich or freeze or bend the wires, so making sure it is mixed will ensure your a/f's don't get out of whack right?

In another post someone said the closer to the maf the richer the a/f and the farther away the nozzle the leaner it will be when it first hits. What is the cause of this?

OK here is something else I have been thinking about.
How would the car react if you had just one nozzle at the very middle front of the lid spraying a stream directly at the MAF vs. having a spray bar across the front of the lid with 10 small holes in it that would fan out the nitrous towards the MAF?
Would either way hit harder? Would one setup generate a lean condition over the other?

Nitrous shooting is relative to how well you tune your car for the amount that is shot.
Noid to jet distance should be short to minimize "delay" in effect (mine is only 4 inch).
You do not want to spray too close to the MAF, since the MAF wires will freeze and max out its output into an over rich condition. (also will damage MAF).
MAF reads change in air temperature going in.
So along with dry, you need to be able to monitor and adjust fuel/timing parameters in order to maximize its effect without endengering the motor.
But 100rwhp dry is the same as 100rwhp wet. Anyone saying otherwise just has no conception of what is really happening and has misconceptions.

Mine is set up like that but I have it coming through the bottom of the fiter and aimed directly at the MAF.
It has cut a 1.34 60' at 3550 lbs. All Dry. It hits kinda hard

Switching my nozzle from premaf (spraying through the maf) to POST maf (after the maf, on a nitrous specific tune, supplying fuel via the tune, making it extra rich at the MAF, so the nitrous leans it out) made my dry kit hit an unbelieveable amount harder also.
