not necessary, but you want it
i think wet is best, not too many people running a dry system i dont think.

My oppinion. I would run dry. I wouldn't be spraying fuel into our intake when there is already oil sitting there puddling at the intercooler. I wouldn't add fuel to that. I run dry. Our trucks fuel system can handle it. On a dry kit a bottle warmer isn't as necessary for a wet. For a wet you want to keep the correct mixture and thus a bottle warmer. A warmer is a good thing to have but you don't have to during the summer on a dry, a purge isn't that big of a deal on a dry either. Nice to have though to clear your lines of air to have a steady stream of nitrous ready to shoot. If you want to keep optimum pressure on your bottle at all times get a warmer. It's so hot here in the souther though I just kinda wrap my tank up in a towel (a blanket with good insulation would work) with it behind my seat. It keeps pretty warm.

when you spray it to run it, that cools the charge.

If you're pulling up to a Viper, don't tell him about it...but definitely SPRAY!

Bottle warmer is a must IMO. You have to have your bottle pretty hot for ideal pressure.

Depends on how big of a shot you're running. It really isn't necessary with our beefy fuel system to run a wet shot of 50 or 75. You might want the added safety for larger shots though.

No point in spraying that extra fuel into the blower, IC, etc. I hear cleaning out the IC isn't exactly a fun task.

Go Wet and drive your truck longer

I have the dyno graphs to show it... a dry system with a 100 HP shot will run you a AFR of 13's NOT SAFE!!!!! Injectors can not cut it after about 4300 RPM'S With the standard nozzels for a wet shot and a warm tank I ran a AFR of about 11.5 - 12.0 and produced 451 HP with a 98 degree intake temp on the dyno.....

When you are sizing a wet system you are not adding an additional load onto your injectors so it will be safer. I recomend useing a AFR gauge too....

As fo fuel in your plenum... You have a WOT switch installed so fuel and NOS will not puddle in your plenum..... @ 3000 RPM and above the velocity of the air moving through your intake is so great the fuel is almost instantly vaporized and will help lubricate/cool the rotors on the supercharger and possible wash down some of the oil residue...

My 2 Cents
