My vote is for NX, i think u get the most for your money through it. There 100hp shots are 100hp to the wheels, whereas most peoples 100 shots are measured at the crank..

Also, with NOS, i have heard of a common Solenoid failure problem. I have heard of it happening more than once, and if it does, it can cause pretty serious damage due to the detonation which occurs. The guyz up here by me that run the NOS system put two Solenoids inline so that if one fails the other will shut off the Nitrous.. Good idea to keep in mind if u choose an NOS system..

I'd say a Dry system is the easiest way to go, no tapping into the fuel system..

The question is, How often are you going to spray, not how much can u spray.. A 100 shot if save for frequent "sprays". However i have heard of many people doing 150 and 200 shots, but they don't do this as frequent, maybe only at the track. If u plan on spraying over 100, plan on upgrading ur fuel pump and injectors as well if u havn't already..

Safe procedures:
Thottle switch
Activation swith (inside car)
RPM Window Switch (3000rpm turn on, and 6000 shut off)
Fuel Pressure Switch (if ur doing 150 and up shots)

Good Luck..Mike

my vote is NOS it's just as good as NX it just costs a tad more but it looks better. but i can get a nos kit for $650 thats only $60 more than the nx kit. and causes of solanois failure couls be mostly prevented with filters.

I'm pretty sure everyone will say the wetter the better.......

You can't run platinum plugs, so you have to switch to a colder plug if you are....

Spark plugs come in different "heat ranges". A colder plug has its center electrode protruding further out of the plug so it is exposed to more airflow and runs at a cooler temperature. On NGKs the higher the number is (as in TR6) the colder the plug is.

Everyone knows my vote, NOS all the way!!! If you only want to spray like a little girl (100hp shot) makes no difference what kit you go with some are sweeter than others but I would say go NOS dry. The wet kit is nice but depending on if you use a plate or nozzle? If you went wet go with direct port nozzle in the runner. I'm not really fond of the plate or nozzle in the bellow because dont forget the fact that the LT1/LT4 intake was designed as a dry intake manifold. There is always the possiblity of fuel poolling and or unequal N20 distribution with the plate or bellow setup. The funny thing is I have been hearing that old arguement for years that this company's solenoid is better than that company's solenoid and the fact is the nitrous company's all buy there solenoids from only one or two different sources and just paste there label on them. None to the best of my knowledge make there own solenoid. I know for a fact NX buy's there solenoids from Peter,Paul. Fact is solenoids wear out and have to be rebuilt just like a motor.

If money was no object and the ultimate system was in need get your self a Motec or Fast SEFI with two stage N2O option for direct port dry setup. Don't forget the good motor to go with.

Now your flyin!
