wet kit question

In a wet kit it draws fuel from the back of the fuel rail correct, a guy I was talking to said that when it starts pumping the nitrous through the solenoid it sucks fuel away from the injectors and leans it out, could this be true or is there no worry of that. Please only knowledgable responses.

The fuel pressure oa an LT1 is around 40PSI. This sufficient to run the injectors and the fuel for a wet system.Most N2O fuel cut off switches are around 35 PSI. Is someone trying to convince you dry systems are better?

The exhausted search I did on wet vs. dry told me that the brands with dry werent near as reliable as Nitrous Express. Mainly lock up of the solinoids. And the injectors locking up. Which means new injectors.

As said above,there is plenty of fuel to go around for feeding a wet system.
If wet systems did "suck fuel away",they wouldnt be sold or as widely used as they are.

Now saying that,if your fuel pump is tired or crapping out,that thing your friend mentioned is possible,but not probable.

Wierd, maybe its a location thing, but most of the guys here run dry kits with an LS1. There are more than a few running in the 11s with just a 150 shot. Anywho, why do most people run wet kits with an LT1. I've always heard that a dry kit is better for fuel injection, as the manifold wasn't designed for gasoline in it.
