Default w-bodies with nitrous step in

i am thinking about using a 75 shot with my GTP and i was wondering if any of the w-bodies here could share some information with me about their setups and what i should know before picking up a kit of my own. thanks for the help.

to make my questions less no0bish, i want to pick up a wet kit but have only seen dry kits made specifically for gp's. also, i heard that wet kits have the possibility to strip the teflon off the rotors in the s/c although they don't allow the fuel to lean out while spraying.

I have helped many customers with wet systems on the GTPs. I have seen no problems spraying a wet kit through the supercharger even though I have heard that washing the bearings could become a problem if the system is extremly rich. So my theory is that as long as the tune up is correct it should be fine.

all right, that is good to hear. are there any other wet kits out there made for the grand prix other than ZEX? that's about the only kit listed on a lot of gp sites and it's usually for dry setups. i just want a decent wet 75 shot to help push me into the 12's with a few other mods.

ANY universal single fogger wet kit will work for your car- zex is pretty worthless- most of the sponsers kits on here make WHP and have lifetime warranties so stick with them- click on nitro daves sig and look @ his in house kits or nitrousdirect.com, harrisspeedworks.com
