Wet vs. Dry

Which is a safer kit to run? I have heard that one will bump up your fuel presure and one will also run the risk of running too lean or rich. can someone please inform me on these and tell me some other downfalls or advantages these kits have

Well, since some make it seem like theyd rather not post, yet post anyway to make you feel like an idiot.

Ill tell you that there are many around here that, for some reason, dont like it when people post questions that have already been answered before.

Try doing a search next time and type in some key words like nitrous or something.

Anyway, in my limited knowledge about NOS, all i can say is that it usually depends on how much power your wanting to add.

A wet kit will also introduce extra fuel to the engine.

If your planning on running boost also, a dry kit would make more sense since your gonna have to bump up your fuel pressure anyway. If not, my vote would go for a wet kit.

if your NA get a wet kit, if your boosted get a dry kit that answers your question thats what they are saying to you from what I can understand.

no. if you are going to run boost and bump up the FP for that already, you dont want it going even higher with a dry setup. So with boost, you want wet. Also, with NA you want wet haha because wet is better. You do not have to mess with adjusting fuel pres. and tuning it to your car

a good wet setup handles its fuel vs n2o well, because it is running from one set, stock fuel pressure. so tuning is not as important as a dry setup.

all in all, boost or no boost, wet is better.

I think a direct port dry would be the absolute best.

Wouldn't a DP just make you beg for traction. Thats pretty much the only thing holding me back from a DP setup. Traction and Fuel Pressure.

And the fuel pressure is sufficient? The FPSS doesn't cut it out?
