You can break it up anyway YOU want, w-w, w-d, d-d, d-w, and throw DP in the mix as well. Key to it is to have the supporting fuel system, pump, injectors if using dry, dedicated fuel system would be good for wet and or DP. Then tune. Personally I am swapping to a dry-wet or dry-DP.

I have a Dry-wet 2-stage.. 1st stage (dry)125 shot,,, 2nd stage (wet) 100wet.. Have a racetronix fuel system, injectors, and a Harris Speed Works stand alone fuel cell. works great so far. Plus it looks cool when i pop my hood and there is selonoids and nitrous lines everywhere. http://www.harrisspeedworks.com/gall...s.php?album=32

yep, I'm almost done with my 2 stage. 100 dry out the hole, then 150 wet. I'm not going to run them at the same time until I can get it on the dyno.

How about dry, dry? Ok if ya have to have a wet side go dry wet. Dry can be set-up to pull timing and can be a little softer on launch or rather torque spike will be better suited to parts living and tires gripping.

That's true on breaking the hit up. However, some of us do not have the money for all the needed rear stuff and/or run Corvettes, so multi stage or progressive can fit the bill nicely in some cases. I was blowing away my ET Streets this weekend on a 100rwhp 1st stg and blowing them again in 2nd when the additional 80rwhp came on board. So even breaking things up on a mondo launch is no gurantee either. Guess I need some full on slicks for the upcoming 3 stg 2xx shot, hehehehe.

Personally IM the hit it all out the hole type guy.. There is no reason why a 200 shot with the correct suspension can not be hit out of the hole. Now when you start getting up in the 300 to 400 range I can see stages or progressing it more needed on some applications.

As far as stageing it im a wet/ wet guy but Im also one for not trying to over complicate my set ups.( Just my preference)

Anyway will work. However if you do not plan on going over a 200 I would spend my money on suspension if needed.

Because 1fastw6 asked about going dual stage and i decided to elaborate on the benifits for the average street/strip guy wanting to go fast for a min of $$. not all of us have the big bucks Dave is talking aboout for suspesion set-up. Us vette guys can easly spend 10K just to get the min hard core set up. So do the math, 1k dual stge on a stock car to go 10's, or...

How big of a shot are you lookin at hittin? If you can hook the tnt 200 out of the hole, leave that as the first stage, that ****** hits hard and will get you out of the hole, and then use a dry as a second stage and you can use a timer to bring it in and experiment with diff settings. But if you start goin over a total of 300 horse, you may start having distribution issues if you don't have a direct port, I know I am, i'm gonna go back down to 200 tnt/100 dry till I get a direct port setup, I tried adding 50 horse to the dry and burned the plug on the first cylinder on drivers side, so I put that back to 100 horse and added 50 to the tnt which put it at 250 and burned that same plug, so no more messin around, just gonna go back to 200/100 till the direct port setup! Don't know if ur suspension/tire setup can handle it, but if ur hookin the 200 tnt, bring in the dry .1 seconds later and see what happens, that's how I got it, the suspension is already loaded and should be able to handle it, although I think I could probably hook 'em both together all at once, but i'd be scared she might go on the bumper, she goes pretty high as it is and even .1 seconds helps break up the hit on the motor too.

Robert..
This is a TA not a Vette... Suspesion for the F-bodies is pretty cheap.. And my guess is he pretty much already has it if he has a 9 inch in the car.

I guess Im still missing something here. How much are you looking to spray. You say you are already spraying 200 on a stock bottom end.
