How much can the shortblock widthstand???

 

i would do more then a 150 wet shot

but defintly dont go over 200

175 is max but thats still risky

 

150 can be dry if you have a 98, 01-02, 175 you'd want to go wet, but really isn't risky at all as long as you dont' make any major mistakes.

You can do 200 but would want a progressive controller.

 

I spray a TNT 100 wet, but have seen many people do a 150 consistently with no mods. Personally, I'd at least do a fuel pump before spraying anything over 100. If you search around, there are a couple of crazy ***** spraying 200 on relatively stock engines.

 

What's the difference between Wet and Dry?

 

a dry kit is usually installed before the throttle body somewhere on the intake route, and the wet kit actually mixes with the fuel, wet kits are a couple hundred dollars more than dry thats why dry kits are usually installed more but with a dry set up there tend to leed to a lot of problems with the nitrous sometimes going to a few certain valves which will cause compression loss, blow valves, blown head gasket, exc. instead of a wet kit were its eqaully distributed. I believe the wet kit is worth it if your going the nitrous route because in the long run youll spend more on rebuiling your heads and motor than you do on a fancy wet set up

Actually, the wet kit is no harder to install than a dry kit. You just tap the Schrader Valve on your driver's side fuel rail and mount the extra solenoid and jet. The benefits to a wet kit are lessened chance of running lean and that they will often make more power than a similar dry shot. However, wet kits have caused the dreaded "nitrous backfire" for some people. Dry kits are super-safe if used/installed properly.

 

i agree with danzigger on this one wet kits are super safe they deliver a equal dispursment of nitrous to every cylinder and chances of running lean are a lot less than the dry kit, it installed right yeah the dry kit will be safe but chances are if they arent going to pay a little extra for the wet then they arent goign ot pay to have it installed=messed up motor.

Does anyone Sprey on an M6 car?

I wanna sprey but im afraid ill miss a gear and bye bye LS1

I know they have window swiches but im not sure what they do?

 

frizankls1 explain to me how a wet kit has equal nitrous distribution but a dry kit does not. I'm I the only one that sees the flaw in that logic?

 

I have heard that you can safely use a 20 shot per cylander...so really you could go 160 and be safe... That might not mean anything, but the most I have seen is 150 wet shot, on a car with everything short of heads and cam. I have am M6, and I stick with a 100 shot...works for me...12.4 @ 112.2 mph...

Yes you have to worry about missing gears...so just don't!!!!!!! Also, I used a HPP to adjust my rev limit...seemed easier to me than a window switch...

 

So if you do miss a gear, does the Window switch save your engine???

 

im sad to say why i know this i had a dry nitrous setup and installed it though the intake tubing and blew my motor now when i took my head apart the valves and cylinders closest to the throttle body experienced detination the valves on the opposite end we fine i was runing on 2 cylinders.

with a wet kit you get equal spray to all the cylinders. you get what i mean if you have 100 shot it will be distributed now with a dry kit it goes in the throttle body and goes into the first valves it can it wont say hey let me travel to the back of the intake manifold because the valves in the back didnt get any.

there for unequal nitrous distribution equal detination learn from my mistakes spend the extra bucks on hte wet kit it safer for running a high shot and looks much better

 

add an air/fuel ratio gauge too, will help you keep an eye on things

 

frizankls1 nitrous flows the same in a dry kit as it does in a wet kit. It is the fuel that doesn't distribute evenly. If it was the nitrous itself that was having the distribution problem then that problem would be there wether it was a dry kit or a wet kit. If the nitrous doesn't distribute evenly then wouldn't that mean air wouldn't distribute either leading to lean cylinders? Nitrous and air are very close in wieght so their flow charachteristics are very similar. What is it then in a wet kit that changes the nitrous? What allows it to go from a state where it won't flow evenly through the manifold to a state were it will just by adding fuel? Basic physics says an obeject in motion tends to stay in motion. The heavier an object the harder it is to change it direction. Gasoline being about 3 time the wieght of nitrous has a hard time changing directions. If you have ever seen a manifold backfire on a wet kit that is caused by a lean cylinder. The nitrous goes where it is supposed to but the fuel does not. How was your dry kit hooked up? What kind of car was it? What jets were you running? What was your bottle pressure? I'll bet one of those things was the problem not that the nitrous didn't distribute evenly.
