Not much, 35 is pretty simple. The only thing I would recommend other than the kit is one step colder plugs. And maybe a bigger jet ...

Why did you go from wet to dry?

well, i sodl the kit because i decided to go another route. 15lb bottle was getting big and i had my trunk gutted and had support beams welded accross to hold the bottle. Trunk was bare. decided to go for a more resonable setup and have the car as a daily drvier and just enjoy it more. I found a good deal on a sneaky pete kit and think that would be a fun thing to have

wet is safer since u have fuel and nos spraying at the same time, dry is just pure nos.

the more fuel the better it is for ur engine.

I read somewhere that the horepower numbers coming from the nos are not true with the dry set-up*******exsample the dry quotes 100hp and it really makes 80hp, with the wet set-up its true to it and gives you more bang cause of the amount of fuel witch is more.

that is very true......a noticable difference between wet and dry.

actually you'll feel the dry alot more than you will with the wet because when the dry shot hits the motor goes lean for a split second and gives you a definite increase in torque. After that split second the MAF picks up the fact that you've got more air coming in and adds fuel to the mixture. So a wet kit makes more power in the long run but the dry shot hits alot better and is good for getting the jump on people. A good example is the sneaky pete kit... its meant to hit instantly when you press the button so that if you're loosing by a fender it will help you catch up and get ahead of the other car over a shorter period of time than you would with a wet kit.

it is that initial lean condition of the engine that makes people say that the wet kit is alot safer than the dry because you have a higher chance of detonating with the dry. But as I see it... nitrous is a good day in a bottle

well for some reason i felt a bigger difference on the wet kit, but it might be differenct mods that really was felt, it seems reasonable that the dry kit would give u more torque but i would rather go with the wet kit so i don't have to buy a new motor. but im about to get a motor just in case, since i don't spray that much hoping i don't blow it. but when i get the new motor i will be spraying more.

i just feel safer with the wet kit, and never will touch dry, i have raced a auto max on 50 dry zex and he just smoked me like no other so i did see the torque but im still gonna stick to wet.

Wet kits are a problem if you have a rev limiter that shuts off the stock injectors. If you hit the rev limiter with a wet kit, the system will go way lean leading to massive detonation. You need to use an RPM activated switch that shuts down the nitrous system before you hit the rev limiter.

This is not an issue with a dry system. If there is no fuel for the spark to ignite, the nitrous just passes through the engine.

In this case no fuel is better than not enough fuel.
