LT1 Nitrous - Wet or Dry

Very simple question:
Which kit is most preferred?
Pros/Cons about each?

Thoughts about the Nitrous Works Wet Plate Kit?

Everyone says the plate flows very inneficiently and a lot of people end up converting their plate kits to fit a nozzle. I'd always do wet kit over dry, simply because you dont run that risk of the injectors freezing up and losing your motor. I have the nitrous works EFI kit because I didn't want a plate. Nitrous works is a good kit, made by Barry Grant and thats a reputable name. Many people on here prefer NX over everything though, it's really just a preference, nitrous is nitrous.

if you have upgraded injectors, i would go dry.

if you dont, i would go wet

i personally would not spray without an upgraded intank fuel pump, my stocker couldnt keep up with my heads/cam 356rwhp car.

if i went wet i would get the NX kit

WHEN i get my n20, im going with the ZEX dry kit. for the ease of installation and simplicity.....

i prefer wet systems on anything with a stock computer. if you have dfi,go dry,you can drive the big injectors that wont lock up.

as far as the NW plate,it's OK for small shots,125 and under. It's a good idea,lousy execution. only 4 spray holes per bar per each throttle bore. NOS used to make a plate for the TPI cars that had something like 32 holes per bar per bore,much better setup,but they didnt make it for the LT1.

the TNT plate seems to work well,due to the twin fogger nozzle setup.

I prefer NX and Wilson Pro Flow seems to be a killer setup (just not for lt1/ls1).
The NX solenoids put NOS and NW base solenoids to shame,NX has bottom feed solenoids for better flow.

Which setup is more prone to backfiring?

What are some tricks to help avoid backfiring, and what causes it?

i have been spraying for 11 years,and only ever had 2 backfires. niether can really be blamed on the nitrous system (mostly operator error,and 2 completely different systems).

dont spray at too low of an rpm,and make sure it isnt overly rich.
