Default ~NX or HSW & Wet or Dry~

This will be my first nitrous set up and i will use ALL the safety equipment, now im just trying to decide which is the better set up. Keep in mind i will be running a 100shot, and maybe bump it up to 150 someday.

Even though NX does not have a dry kit yet, I voted for one as I am currently running a NX hybrid dry with great results.

What else is done to the vehicle (mod wise)? What are you planning for the future? Depending on those answers one (Wet Vs. Dry) might be a better choice over the other.

If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

i voted hsw wet because you will get a top quality fully stainless and customizable kit at a great price and you can also add some of their innovative products ex: bottle heater ,opener ect

As of now I only have a lid and the car is lowered. Very soon I will be putting on LTs, ORY and TSP True Duals. After that I want something around a 224/224 114lsa cam, then I plan on adding some matching heads then eventually add an Ported Fast intake and Throttle body. Then I will have to focus on the rear end and all the parts i break along the way...clutchs etc etc etc. then someday after the car is paid off (4 years) I will hopefully add a turbo kit to the car.

I cant figure out why people choose a wet kit over dry, I would figure adding 0 fuel in the intake would be better. I also like the fact that i can hide a dry kit and put the nozzle in the filter.

I have decided i want to go with a HSW kit but have TONS of questions!

You would be fine on the dry kit for now, and when you do the LT & Exhaust you should still be good up to around a 125 shot. When you do the cam and if you have a dry kit chances are you'll have to do a set of larger injectors. You'll need a tune for the injectors, but you'll need a tune for the cam anyway so that woun't really matter.

There are some benifits to the wet kit, one of them being the fuel injector issue, which is usually the biggest., so long term cost of owenership sometimes is less. Each way is safe & will work, sometimes one is a better chocie over the other as far as your goals and what you plan on doing down the road.

Post up your other questions.

Matt

I think I'd go with a name brand any day, i'm about to make my nitrous choice too. I don't want any problems and would prefer a company that's been around for awhile, and will stick around

The poll results will show more what people have than what you need. Either Matt or Dave will be a great choice to figure outr what's best for you personally.

Thats the best way you can do it. I would vote for the NX wet kit as thats what I have. Dave has treated me well and so has Dynotune. I just havent done business with HSW yet but I hear they are very nice as well.

I run a 150 shot HSW wet kit on my silverado... it took a considerable amount of time off my ET's and made my trap speed jump quite abit as well... my last run in TERRIBLE conditions, 3.42's stock cam, converter and open diff... I went 14.00 @ 103 on Toyo S/T's @ 13psi....

I've litterly got my HSW dry kit sitting right here next to me!

I can't wait to get it in! Matt is a great guy and has answered even the most simple and stupid questions that I can think of promptly and thoroughly! The instructions are very simple (which is a good thing for me) and has erased any fears that a 'nitrous noob' like me has.

I'm just waiting on bigger injectors and a better pump before I install. Which is what you are going to want to do once you start messing with the cam and heads.

There is another thread going on about some super secret new dry product that has got me very excited. I think right now is a great time to start getting into and learning about dry systems.
