Safest setup to spray with my 224 cam? Considering a 75-100 shot but have some questions for you guys who are already setup:
1- How will the car respond considering I have a 224/224 .581 112 LSA cam?
2- What is the safest way to go? Wet/dry, window switches for RPM (my car shifts @ 6500)? Do I need to run a nitrous controller for timing?
3- As I see it, a dry kit adds fuel because the MAF sensed the extra o2 being injested and adds fuel through the injectors, but why wouldn't it do the same on a wet kit (and end up way rich)? The MAF doesn't sense the fuel does it? I know that the o2 sensors would pick up a rich condition and lead it out, but I would think that the car would bog. How does a wet kit avoid the "dry kit" enrichment?

Re: Safest setup to spray with my 224 cam? A wet kit adds the N20 after the MAF. It taps into the fuel rail and adds fuel with the nitrous every time you spray to ensure a lean condition is not going to happen. So the MAF does not affect a wet kit at all. As far as safety they both have pros and cons. I personally went with the NX wet kit. I am going to run a variety of safety measures.
1. RPM safety switch. 3000 to 6400 rpm( to aviod any puddling in the intake and keep form hitting the rev-limit)
2.Fuel pressure safety switch.
3.Full throttle switch
4.Push button switch that has to be depressed.
5.Nitrous pressure switch.
6.LS1 edit and Auto tap to adjust timming and monitor system.
7.Full tune on dyno before system ever sees the street.
Your cam will be fine. It is my understanding that the cam really does not matter to much if under a 150 shot or a baby shot.
For all the pros and cons vs wet and dry do a search. I went with the NX Twin Gemini kit because if I want I can use it as a dry kit and when used as a wet kit it does not require any drilling or fitting as it comes with replacment MAF ends.
