In a wet kit, you feed both the nitrous and the fuel in, completely external to the injectors/pcm, etc. In a dry kit, you only feed in nitrous, and "trick" the fuel system to thinking it needs to add a lot of fuel through the injectors.

There's a seperate N2O section of the board in which you could probably get a lot of specific answers.

I just want to know one more thing what is it really? I know it is a gas and it runs the $hit out of your engine. Is it really worth it, i mean you blow gaskets and maybe a pistion. just wondering.

Blowing up engines is not part of using Nitrous. Blowing up engines is part of Improper Nitrous use.

When used correctly theres no reason why you should have problems. This isn't to say continued and extreme frequent use won't have you changing bearings etc sooner then normal, but for the Hobby guy that isn't soraying on a nightly basis, I wouldn't sweat it abit.

Good luck!
