harris speed has some nice kits the both wet and dry if your just looking for a small shot up to 125 go dry if you want to go bigger or ever plan on going bigger get a wet kit-- a dry kit relys on your stock injectors to supply fuel and a wet kit supplys both nitrous and fuel at the same time

It's when they're running a purge system. It flushes out the air in a n2o line.

ya, but every time you purge, you waste precious n2o. But it does look cool.

Sure what do you want, wet/dry? take a look around our site(s), the old one is in my sig, then on home page hit new nitrous store open, for more kits.
