I was TOLD that a wet kit would be a little safer, just going of what i've heard _____________________________ 1999 Camaro Z28 - LS1 / A4 (in reply to nkramirez7) Post #: 5

In the v6... dry would be sufficent, just because you're never going to want to go over 150 EVER!! I'm choosing to go with the dry and put about 75 shot in.The install... pretty easy, just follow instructions! (in reply to nkramirez7) Post #: 8

A dry kit injects the NOS gas into the incoming air somewhere upstream of the MAF so that the NOS, mixed with the incoming air, is measured by the MAF, and the additional mass is interpreted as more air, and thus results in the ECM injecting additional fuel.  It works well when you are trying to add no more than about 33% additional power from the NOS, after than injection spray duration and other factors make it best to go to a wet kit, which squirts fuel into the intake manifold near the ports while also shooting NOS into the intake manifold. Dry kits are a big advantage because: a) they are cheaper and easier to install, you don't have to do a thing to the fuel system - just leave it alone: fewer parts to install, less time to install. b) they are safer: the additional fuel lines, pumps and fuel injectors of a wet system often leak and start fires c) they are easier to tune: wet kits can take 2 to 3 times the dyno time to get perfect A/F ratio and no ECM back-off ocsillations d) they are easier to hide: a lot of street racers hide the system so they can claim they have no NOS and even open the hood to prove it.  I've done it myself. _____________________________ Aston Martin Vantage V8 Lincoln MKZ daily driver 1998 Camaro w. 408/AFR heads, etc.,+NOS street/strip (in reply to badinfluenceRS) Post #: 9
