If ur going to keep ur dry kit then the nozzel placement has got to be before the MAF, now if u wanted to run a wet kit then u could do the plate setup like mine or nozzles after the MAF, for a little bit of info when i switched to my plate setup i picked up 4 tenths and 6 mph through the 1000ft, the wet felt so much stronger but there is going to be people on here telling u different so just go with ur instinct... then again u could go with bigger injectors, pump and a good tune and up ur jet size! On my 5177 kit i ran .046 jets on the stock fuel system and didnt mess anything up, guess i was lucky!!!

The .032's are about 85rwhp shot, but they rate them as 100hp at crank. This is one of the biggest problems with the 5177, the way they rate it. It will seem as though it's a dog. Also, the stock nozzle location will cause a slow progressive hit. Check out the wet vs dry thread for insight on good nozzle placement, look for the dyno graphs showing what nozzle style and location can do. If you still have questions let me know, I will help. If set-up correctly, your dry will hit and perform just like any wet hit/kit.
