A few Innovations have hit the dry camp. The NX kit is cool, but not out yet and it's only for the small MAF cars, and that leaves the majority out. Besides that, HSW has the DRY Plate kit and also the Interface. Actually, IMO, the Interface is the Bomb in the Dry world as it has all the bases covered like was said previous, single/dual nozzles before or after MAF, Dry Plates after the MAF, Dry Direct Port kits and it even makes fine tuning of Wet DP kits a/f a breeze. Really for a bad azz street/strip car how can we find anything better than a Dry Direct Port utilizing the Interface for fueling and timing pull along with 80lb injectors from Racetronics (for those that want to say the injectors are the limiting, not no more), that do work with the stock PCM. That's the route I have taken Dry DP and Interface and waiting for the dual stage Interface to hit the market, though I can still run 3-stages Direct Port ans 2 stages in front of the MAF, with the Interface and stock PCM and absolutely no need for a stand alone fuel tank. Man is it a great time to be into the modern tech of the Dry hit on the EFI/LSx platform. I know most of you have seen my pics, but I am sure someone hasn't, lol. Please, someone give me one good reason to run a wet hit, lol, all of the haters love it when I do that, lol. Watch for a Dry TB plate to go on soon as well as a carb Dry plate and dumping the quad dry nozzles. The other haters love it when we wave the flag.

Edit: Oh yea, looking at utilizing individual cylinder timing tuning. Yes, it's already on the market, though not specifically for the EFI/LSx platform. Trying to adapt this tech to the stock PCM, then tuning around a lean cylinder for those that need this (front entrance intakes and/or some DP hits, and big hits of course) can be done. will be much chaeper than EGTs or individual cylinder WBs.

Like suggested above a fast or Big stuff is the best choice for dry. I think the NX system will deffintly be a great choice when it is released. Other than that Using our spray rings to achive a great discharge and then using computer tunning is the best reliable and safe way on the market... Just my opinion!

The great thing about the Interface is the fact that it will not affect n/a performance as will PCM tuning concerning fueling, so no lose of power running the wrong WOT a/f. Actually the Halo and the Interface are a match made in heaven , and is also great for any style Dry plate type kit. I give credit where credit is due regardless of the company or manufacture. We will be using one for tuning a Dry carb style Dry plate kit I am putting together (may use a Wilson plate?). Big stuff 3 is great, but way, way overboard for any street/strip type set-up, besides being out of the average pocket book range, for limited needs/gains, and that's one of the main benifits these days of going dry big shots, it's all completely doable running the stock PCM, and this was a problem in the very near past. This brings up another great point, cost, hell at about $150 and dry tuning, for this matter even wet, can be done by anyone with out a computer. Not every one wants to outlay the big $$ on a full tuner program, nor do they want to invest in the lengthy learning curve and full understanding of tuning that a tuner program requires. If we can read simple directions, then we can run an Interface. For me, the full tuner program is a must, and the Interface has become just another great tuning tool, however, not everyone else will want or need both. I do agree that the NX Dry kit will be a great addition and option for dry users and wish Al would make me up a 90mm unit, hint, hint . The NX kit would/will allow fueling on it's own (mechanical adjusting with a dial at the MAF) and then a timing pull based on my write up in my web, which I currently use for dry timing pull (it needs a full tuner program to set-up though). Great products out there guys, take the plunge and see one of our vendors.

I am in tuning mode right now, so will pm ya when ready/finished. Thanks buddy. It would have been on already would we have had one. This will work so good with my current DP Dry as stage 1 and then NX Dry MAF kit as stage 2 and maybe even for stage 3? What do you see as the best route in that regard and/or any conflicts? I am using the interface to fuel the DP, so once it's dialed in then we can set the Dry MAF (what the hell is the kit's name, lol) dial to a/f I want and bingo it's done, or am I missing something. Seems very simple at this point. Man, nothing I want more than to dump my quad nozzles from stage-2 and 3, and move to the modern high tech of the newest generation dry.
