Zex dry nitrous kit

Hey, I am looking into buying a dry nitrous kist from zex and wanted to know if anyone else had this kit and wanted to know the pro's and con's from somebody really has it.
the kit has something that will read bottle pressure and adjust for it, also a tps sensor instead of a wot switch
this sounds like a really good kit the only thing that I would want and was not offer was something to shut down the nitrous if the fuel pressure dropped too low
sorry I wrote so much but I just want to get this right the 1st time

The down side of a dry kit is that you'll want to upgrade fuel pumps and injectors to support the HP you're looking for. You'll aslo put more strain on
them when spraying; 80-90psi isn't really good for injectors or fuel pumps.

The good thing about dry is you don't get a gasoline soaked manifold that can
potentially explode with a back fire.
Even fuel delivery.
Less complex.
Less equipment that can fail.

if your not looking to go any further than a 60 shot, then the dry kit is the best in my opinion. i had a 60 shot dry and use to use that thing every chance i got time after time with no problems. as soon as i converted to wet and a higher shot thats when all my problems began,lol.

well when i had my dry kit i use to beat up on that thing night and day like it was a s/c,lol. i never had one issue with a dry 60 shot at all period. then i got greedy and wanted more so i converted to the wet sho,t and the only euipment failure was the fuel solenoid that froze because of a broken seal inside. what i mean by issues is if i had left it dry i wouldnt have raised the shot and blown my motor. the wet shot is for more experienced nitrous users because it seems so easy to just drop in a 100 shot but it comes with a price.
