Good ole Dry vs Wet shot

Good ole Dry vs Wet shot
Ok here's my idea, I just helped my friend install a procharger on his 04 gt, soo it's not running right yet but it will.... Ok here's my dillemma I can't have his GT faster then my TA So I was thinking either going with dynotunenitrous's wet kit
wet kit
or with their dry kit
Dry Kit
I want to run a 100 shot, of course along with the window switch. I was thinking that the dry shot would be better for me. I'm new to nitrous, and also was thinking that since the LSX manifolds were DRY manifolds, that the dry kit, might be better for my app. I know a lot of people run wet shots, but I'm not looking to spend a crazy amount of money, and I'm not gonna spray very often. Also my car has 101xxx miles on it so... Yea... What do you think I should do...

Depending on mods yes it could be pushing it, however it could be ok. Its ok in my book, to run inj. beyond the 100%IDC if its only at the track. Either Dry or wet, if an inj. fails your toast.

Dude, if he needed a pump for a dry kit at 100 shot, then he sure in the hell would need it for the wet kit too. Either way he has to feed the fueling to make that 100extra ponies. Its not something we need to sit and hash out, its not like we're going to change the results of the arguement....IF a pump was needed for one, it would be needed for the other as well.....*caveat being, if he has a dedicated fuel system* That is a fact!
Zitty, I would think you can run 100-125 dry with that setup...do you have the hotwire kit? Regardless, log it/wideband it and see where your at.

I really think he needs to install the 100 shot, and then see where his duty cycle is on his injectors. I was running a bolt on car with 120 shot to the wheels on the stock injectors and pump with no problems. Granted I didn't spray very much, but my duty cycle was under 100% and that was with 470 rwhp

A he has some nice bolt-on mods already
B his is a 2000, so he has the smaller 26.6lb inj which are probably near 100%idc now.
Some good and relatively cheap injectors for this setup would be take-offs from a Lightning (42lbs FMS) or a Viper (34lb Bosch) and then flash the new tune for injector size/flow.
Dont be scared of needing new injectors and have that sway you away from going Dry. I say injectors, tune and run it, the pump will go farther than your current injectors will.

First, you don't need a bottle to beat an '04 Mustang GT with a Procharger. When my Z28 was a bolt-on car with a 3600 Vig nitrous converter, I had no problem beat gt's with huffers on them.
Second, there are local guys spraying 200+ dry shots on stock LS1 fuel systems. Granted, these guys are extremely experienced with nitrous and not recommended for a beginner. I'd recommend a wet kit for a first timer for peace of mind. Plus, wet kits seem to hit harder.

who said anything about a 200 shot on stock injectors? All I was suggesting is that he put the 100 shot on the car, get it dyno tuned and see where he is. He may or may not need the injectors. I like the idea of a dry shot sine you don't have to worry about fuel puddling in the intake due to a malfunction somewhere, or the fuel noid not firing and losing the engine.
