Basically...a wet kit introduces nitrous and fuel as a mixture, where a dry kit introduces nitrous only and uses the injectors to add the extra fuel.

This has been debated...hotly at times...on this board in the past. I think the general opinion is that a wet kit is the easiest to install and tune on a typical street/strip car. There are some outstanding dry kits as well, but the good ones are big bucks, and are really, for all intents and purposes, a race only item.

The vast majority of fast power adder cars on this site use wet setups.
