Post Wet System as a Dry

Can you run a NX system as a dry one?

In Short yes. On your LS1, you could install the nozzle ahead of the MAF, and run it dry. Make sure to cap off the Fuel portion of the Nozzle.

Might I ask why? The LS1 seems to work well ry no doubt, but it works just as well Wet, with less fuel system complications.

Mainly for safety reasons. Since I am a beginner, dry seemes to be more staight foward.

Wet has more thing that can go wrong.
1. Fuel soleniod sticks close. Boom
2. N20 Solenoid sticks open. Boom
3. Bottle not warm enough. You go rich.

Dry.
1. No fuel solenoid
2. N20 Solenoid sticks open, maf will still add fuel.
3. Bottle not warm enough. Just less N20. Less power.

Am I understanding this correctly?

But once I am confident about the system. I am sure I will more more out of it. Then I can switch to wet.
