Butour intake manifolds are not made to run liqued so then a wet kit would not send gasoline all the way back to the last cylinders. so I say dry

the intake manifold will be fine with a wet system. You just need to ensure you use safety equipment..........as you should with a dry system.

What he said!

A window switch is also important. It will keep your nitrous from spraying when the motor is below opimum RPM's and it'll keep your nitrous from spraying while you accidentilly bounce the rev limiter. Both situations can be bad.........

You should spray above 3000rpms and have your system shut off 300-400 RPMs below your rev limiter.

Well the dry is cheaper for the base kits from all vendors. Now with that said, the premier dry hit would be the PRO Dry from Nitrous Direct. This kit was speced for the lsx platform, not some generic kit. It has more goodies included than any other kit, and a high quality kit to boot. Dry is a very good choice, easy set-up, great power, and the best part very, very safe. Now, if you go big, yes 150 bucks or so might be neede for injectors, but hey for the safety factor you can't beat it. Just look at all the swelling plunger issues on the wet kits? Now for power, check out the dyno graph below, 480rwhp and 505rw torque on a small dry hit (time in my sig on an even smaller hit). This was on an absolutly bone stock engine, with 28lb injectors stock fuel system, not even headers. So, the best safe bang for the buck would be, imo, the PRO Dry kit. Can anyone guess which I voted for?

Robert is very konwledgable and I would take his advice and run with it.

I personally think the wet kit is better for my personal application so I don't have to mess with my injectors. I like the idea of just adding to the fuel line.........however I have to add a better fuel pump!

If you want a great system for a little money.....Robert could get you set on the right path. However, I like the wet system idea much more, but you'll pay for it! But IMO you need to spend the extra money to ensure you have all the proper safety equipment and what not to safely enjoy your system.......whether its wet or dry.

I like dry because I don't want to trust a solenoid to supply my motor with enough fuel.

Same here plus I like the idea of timing being pulled while the motor is being sprayed....custom tune

Not to mention what Robert said about the inferior fuel sticking the fuel noids open/closed

With the wet kits most people put there car on the dyno and "just" look at the A/F ratio and call it safe. But you will be spraying ontop of the timing that is tweaked for All Motor and that leaves much less room for error.
