Nitrous Newbie...
Wet has always been, and always will be the proper way to set up a nitrous kit IMO.
Dry kits work fine, but tuning is limited to the MAF, which is not designed to compensate for nitrous being injected into your motor.
We use the NOS wet kits for our customers cars, and allow upgrades along the way like a digital window switch, purge, custom controllers, and a heater (all neccesary items for proper nitrous use IMO).
Wet kits deliver both fuel and nitrous at the same time. Inspect your noids, and replace when needed and you will never have a problem- not to mention your tune will be dead on every time with wet and not neccesarily "hit or miss" with the MAF.
These are just my thoughts on the subject. Opinions of course will vary.

The dry kit from HSW came in today, Woo Hoo! what do you guys suggest i do as far as nozzle placement? the lid on my car right now came off a wrecked car that had a dual nozzle kit so it already has hole in it (which i plugged off of course). i was thinking about just unplugging the hole on the drivers side and running my line in there. i figure this would be the best place to spray so that the nitrous hits all the sensors but i have also read about the IAT sensor mod and how this tricks the computer into thinking the incoming air is hotter than it really is so that it pulls timing, correct me if i am wrong. now i'm confused as to which is the best place to put the damn nozzle. i looked at the install papers that came with the kit and they say to place the nozzle right around where the lid starts funneling down into the MAF. Please help someone :-(

i was thinking about my dilema this weekend and i just figured, what the hell i'll just see how much it will cost to get my line extented. the guy i went to told me it would be better to just make up a new 4' section of line and join it to my existing line with a flare union. the whole thing only cost me thirty bucks with a the union included... a lot cheaper than buying a whole new 20 foot line. didnt get the cool blue anodized ends on the new line 
but as long as it works right i could care less.
but as long as it works right i could care less. i just wanted to chime in and make sure you have removed the screen on your MAF... your sig says "just about every free mod" , but it could be an easy thing to over look.
good luck with the kit!

De-screened the maf within about a few months of buying the car 98 formula, but thanks for checkin! why is it so important to descreen the maf? oh yeah and i have recently port/polished the maf and the t/b i just haven't put it in my sig. will i run into any problems cause of this? what do you guys think i should do as far as nozzle placement? the instructions say to put it around where the airlid starts to neck down into the maf but no specific placement. i've also seen many of the dry users are doing this, like robert56. how far should i be from the maf?
well its important to remove the screen when you run a dry kit because the nitrous can "freeze" the maf screeen or something along those lines...
if your car runs fine now, i don't think you'll have a problem with the p/p maf...

sounds good. i also have a plug-and-play racetronix fuel pump. will this help my fueling needs at all if the rest of my fuel system is stock? a buddy of mine said that is will keep the fuel system from getting sucked dry but i figure it will only keep enough fuel supplied up to the regulator becuase the regulator only lets so much fuel through based on what PSI it is set at... correct me if i'm wrong please
