New,Confused, pls Help!

Ok, first of all, I'd like to say hello to everybody, I'm kinda new to nitrous.

I'm gonna order a n2o kit next week, but I'm a bit confused. I know, you all here prefer the "wet" kit over the other dry setups. I understand all the advantages of the wet kit, but only _ONE_ thing keeps me from buying it. YOU have to tap the FUEL LINE! I dunno....I'm a bit afraid doing it, honestly I don't even know how to tap it.
Second, I don't want to go above 100-shot, that would be enough for me(and my head/camm'd stock motor).
Now, after all of this, do you still prefer the wet thing, or would it be easier to bolt on a dry kit for a 75-100 shot?

Thanks in advance,

I still prefer the wet system.
Tapping the fuel line is EASY,all you do is remove the schreader valve from the test port on the fuel rail and hook up the fuel line for the nitrous kit. simple really.

Also run a colder plug for the nitrous and make sure you have a good fuel pump.

The wet kit is perfered b/c it puts both nitrous and fuel, which puts less stress on the injectors to keep up, that is the main advantage to most of us. Tapping the fuel line is easy, unscrew the schrader valve cap at the back of intake, take the valve out with a simple tire valve remover, screw on the line to run to the fuel sol. Pretty easy. I put a 75 shot on my basic mod car and picked up more then a second in the 1/4. Definetly worth the time and money.

If you already have larger injectors and a fuel pump you dont really have to worry about it stressing on a dry kit (especially if he is only going to spray only a 75-100). The only other "advantage" is that it mixes the fuel and nitrous better.... however i dont like the idea of spraying fuel through the throttle body.
