I just traded a guy last week for his TNT F1 kit and I hope/think that was the right thing to do. It seems that wet kits simply make much more power and a lot more torque. Which I read Robert said, but that wouldn't explain the better track times on the wet kits...at least around here.

Bottom line, x amount of nitrous = x amount of power given the same a/f, wet or dry. remember, the TNT is underated, and the NOS was/is overated. Meaning, a TNT 100 hit gives about 125rwhp, and the NOS 100 hit gives about 85rwhp. However, if they are jetted the same and other parameters are the same then hp/torque will be same, it's the laws of pyhsics. Check out the wet vs dry thread for more info, and dyno proof of these facts.
