I was thinking the same thing!!!!!


seriously, you want a WET KIT. dont let anyone tell you different.

think about it for second, just the concept of a dry kit. you're spraying nitrous in your motor with no fuel and expecting your injectors and pump to pick up the slack. you DONT want that!

i would NEVER spray juice in my motor with no fuel.

that, and because uh....yea, i like my women wet too.

hehe couldnt have been said better. Wet is the safest to go with and you have safer options of running bigger shots than dry

I prefer WET system for the LT1. Main reason is with a DRY system,you are gonna be pushing your luck with a 150 shot.

The ONLY way to run a dry kit (IMHO) is to do it with aftermarket DFI so you can run a BIG injector and have good driveability.

People seem to have no problem running a blower and letting the injectors add the extra fuel via a FMU yet when it comes to nitrous they get scared. The Stock fuel pump isn't always enough which is why certain dry kits come with a fuel pump just like a blower. How is putting fuel in at the injector worse than at the throtle body? Isn't that where it is suposed to go in. People are going to have their preferance but saying that putting fuel through a manifold that was not desinged for it and saying it is safer is not true. Dry kits are not more dangerous if installed properly and you keep the right jet in it. Alot of people try and run too big a jet and yes they will run lean if you do that. Most people that say dry kits are dangerous have no idea how they work. Wet kits have there place but they are not really the safest. If you want the safest kit run direct port then you don't have to worry about fuel puddling or your injectors adding the fuel.

nitrous and forced induction are two TOTALLY different beasts. no, i wouldnt mind having a a blower and using the stock injectors with an aftermarket pump.

but heres what im saying, air goes into your motor anyway, thats how it works. forced induction is just basically shoving more air into your motor, thus increasing the NEED for more fuel.

with N2O, youre putting somthing through your motor that it wasnt designed for in the first place. since you HAVE to have fuel for nitrous to EVEN work (forget detonation for second), i wouldnt want to put any in my motor without fuel.

with a wet kit, not only do you have the fuel coming through the injectors, but added fuel with the N2O through the TB. if anything youll run rich with a wet kit, thus making it safer. your adding the extra amount of fuel WITHOUT putting any stress or having to rely more on the factory fuel system.

You realize that fuel is heavier than air right. So fuel will not make the turns the same as air so what happens is you get uneven distribution some cylinders get more fuel than others if it gets bad enough you get a lean backfire in a cylindr that finds its way back into the plenum. The fact is fuel does not like to make turns and I don't care how good anybody says their nozzle is it is not going to make fuel lighter than air. Nitrous being lighter then normal atmosphere is going to change direction easier than something of greater mass. Just like a car a lighter car wil be more responsive than a heavier one. It's just simple physics. Granted some manifolds are less prone to distribution problems than others but it is still not the most ideal thing to put fuel through an EFI manifold. Forced induction and nitrous while they are diffrent in many way and the same in others when it comes down to the fuel asspect all the engine cares about is if it has the right amount of fuel to go with the added amount of oxygen. It doesn't care if that oxygen is by way of boost or nitrous (19-20% more oxygen than atmosphere @ sealevel).

Dry kits are fine for smaller shots...but it has been witnessed many times that guys want to go bigger. Stock Lt1 injectors have a strong tendency to "lock" when the bigger shots are run......thats my point.

If you have enough self control and KNOW you wont use the 150 with stock injectors..then use a dry kit..pay more..it's your money.

well I was going with a dry kit and better injectors, SVO 24lb, I am getting all the safety stuff and what not, now its gonna cost about 950, is that worth it and is that a safe setup since I have the better injectors if not what size do I need for a 150hp shot.
