1. no
2. no
3. if you have your heart set on running a wet kit, then go for it...otherwise i'd stay dry.

I'm a dry guy btw.

I would leave it DRY if you aren't experiencing any issues. As long as the injectors can support the shot your good. If you have a Wideband you should be running a really safe setup.

Everyone has there own preference. I have always prefered the sudden hit of a wet system. I can make either dry or wet make power. Either system would work fine. But like what is said above. If your set up is working fine I would spend the money else where.

Wet kit will mean more power and better engine response, plus more engine life...

I am far from being an expert, but it seems like a 100 shot is a 100 shot, wet or dry.
Has there ever been a dyno test to prove otherwise?

You'll notice a difference
