Default Best Nitrous setup for me?

I have a question about what would be the best setup for my car. I have an LS6 (stock internals), headers and a lid. Yes that's it. I want to spray but I can't decide wet or dry or who from. Leaning toward a wet kit from NX. The last time I used N2O was in the old days of blowing carbs off the intake and hurting to motor because there wasn't any safety equipment. WOT switches, window switches and computers didn't exist and the solenoids back then sucked. I would like an unbiased not bashing each other opinion on what people think. Robert56 you are limited to 1 post per 10 on the wet or dry question because I know your opinions from reading the NW forum and here once in while, not a hit on you but I want an unbiased view. Thanks.

I did both wet and dry on my car. I had smaller injectors than your LS6.

My expierence was a Wet Plate worked right out of the box. Dry the limiting factor for me was the Injectors. I have since swapped the injectors and now I favor the dry.

What I like about the wet plates (Nitrous Outlet, HSW, NOS, have them) is you dont have to cut holes in your lid, or airduct for nozzles. The plate is easily removable, and leaves no need to replace the lid or airduct with a new ones should you remove the nitrous.

OK, here's my one post. The current bomb is the HSW Interface with a wet or dry (dry would be my choice, lol) standard kits, plate kits, dry DP, wet DP. It's really the biggest innovation to hit the N2O world for some time. The Interface can be used with anyones kit also.

i also have both wet and dry. havent sprayed the wet yet though. i would also suggest doing a plate kit. i just ordered the plate conversion from hsw for my dynotune kit and it looks like the overall distribution will be a lot better.

I think the hottest thing out there is the HSW dry plate with the interface. No tuning required, other than tracking injector duty cycle.

Hehehehe... I would like to see someone try Dave's plate as a dry hit with the Interface. Anyone doing that yet? or with the NOS plate?

i have had both NX and TNT wet kits and loved both of them. the nx worked really well for me on a Daily driven silverado and the TNT F2 did wonders on my 01 TA. i like the wet kit because i like running on motor alot as well so i dont have to sacrifice as much in the tune. but i am also running alot bigger setup than you. you can always start with a dry kit and upgrade it to wet if you fill the need

I'd go HSW all the way. If you start off with thier dry plate and interface, you can always switch it back to a wet setup if you chose to and still have the interface for any minor adjustments. I've been very happy with HSW so far. Their instructions are top notch and so is their customer service.

Im still not 100% sold on the dry yet, i like it on my vett because traction is limited, but the 125 shot in my vett hits less then the 75 shot in my cousins TA from Nitro daves plate kit.

any car with traction i would go with a plate kit. i only used nitro daves kit and have had great great luck with it (went 9.3 with 150 shot in my car this year one of the first track trips)

without traction i would say go dry,
