Default couple questions

what nitrous system is better for a stock ls1 motor dry or wet system. also i got a m6 so if i was running a 100 shot would it mess up my clutch not leaving off the spray. and what else would i need for a safe set up trying to make it safe as possible not just trying to go the cheapest if i go with LS1 Pro Wet Kit - Complete & Ready to install from nitrous direct. im trying to go with one of there sytems cuz they seem good and there one of the sponsers.

most of them now are rated at the wheels.. i think nos is still flywheel..

but remember manufacturers suggested jetting is just a starting point.. you need to make sure your a/f is straight and adjust from there..

The PRO Wet kit is a killer set-up, high quality and value packed. Myself, I like the Dry hits. Here's a little write that can give ya some insight on wet or dry. Check the wiring sticky above for a post on how to do a cheap 1st gear lock out, works great for traction limited cars or 10 bolts. Let me know if I can help further. A window switch is a must for safety.

Also, check/read some of the current threads, as the wet vs dry has been covered a lot lately.

With a WOT & window switch here is what will happen.

Your window switch will activate & de-activate the nitrous system at the preset RPM's. But this switch will only operate while at WOT. So even if your in your preset RPM range, but not goin WOT, your kit won't spray.

With these switches, your safety goes way up. And ensures your not sprayin when you don't want to be.

All you would need is a main activation switch. Once its switched on & your ready to spray, just hammer it WOT & once you hit your low RPM settin it will spray the nitrous until it reads the upper(cutoff) RPM setting. This really helps on a 6 speed with not sprayin through the shifts & helps to keep you from bouncing the limiter while the juice is on.

I would also suggest a FPSS(Fuel Pressure Safety Switch), which will shut off your kit if your pressure drops below a preset PSI.

All these switches are great safety add-ons for any nitrous kit.

I'm setting mine for 3000-6000 & since I have the BMN switch, it will have first gear locked out.
