Wet kits spray fuel and nitrous, while dry kits only inject nitrous.

Ronbo,
Come on bud. How long have you been around here? There is more posts about N.O.S. then there is about Blown318 eating burgers, or Fast Gator drinking (well maybe not that one). What have you been doing this whole time .


Wet baby, Spray wet.


I am only busting your chops.


I WANT N.O.S. too.

OK I'm a A-Hole, I guess I knew that answer all along.
Well how about if I found Dry System known as a Smart Nitrous System with a Nitrous Management System that regulates the Nitrous to fuel ratio, always optimizing the mix.
NEVER TOO RICH, NEVER TOO LEAN

To me, 55, 65, or 75 HP for under $500.00 is pretty dam good

Rob- I have ran both a dry and a wet nitrous shot on my L and you are much better off with a wet kit.

Wet all the Way

All the dry set ups zex,venom. ect are great for a N/a engine well marginal and this is why.What will the N20 computer do if the fuel pump is maxed out by Boost,Injector size,old fuel filter,ect nothing which means lean motor and then BOOM.Go with the wet kit much much safer.I have looked at this in much detail on a F/I motor and wet is the only option.

Hmm, easy way to describe is this...

Wet is bad for N/A because it will generally puddle up on the lower plenum. This could REALLLL ugly and backfire, basically destroying your t-body, elbow, maf and airbox.


Dry systems are what you should use on an N/A application. But of course, you would have to re-do your fuel system to meet your needs.


On a Lightning you would want a wet system. It would keep the cylinders from leaning out for one. Im sure when the boost hits the lower and enters the motor, the amount of juice isnt exactly equal. The cylinders are fighting for air. IF you were to run a dry, you would really increase the chance of leaning the monster out and going boom.

Im surprised no one has looked into designing an equalizer for the L's lower like they have for Grand Nationals. This ensures each cylinder get equal flowage. Hint Hint
