Dry sucks on these cars.
Wet is the way to go.

Nitrous Express is the way to go!

A dry kit would go before the MAF, and I wouldn't recommend it.

The wet kit will be safer, goes after the MAF.

Dynotune makes great nitrous kits, and I also like NX (nitrous express). Zex has convenient packaging, as well.

Do some research on price and kit reviews (use google and your brain in conjunction, and I promise you can pull it off) to make your decision. Don't let us decide for you.

i have a dynotune 75 shot wet kit on my 2001 5 speed and i love it......pulls hard even without a bottle warmer..... get a bottle warmer and it will be a beast.... im getting a warmer in a few weeks!

check out www.dynotunenitrous.com

good luck with everything

Both are high quality. I would use either edging towards the dynotune (personal preference).

Make sure to get a pressure switched bottle heater, TPS switch and window switch (can get all these at dynotune). Also make sure you get 1-step colder COPPER plugs. Use radio shack or cheap online stuff to make yourself a relay/fuse box to keep wiring under the hood clean and out of the way and use common grounds and power!

I'd also get a wideband with guage for an extra 150-250 dollars. That way you can roughly tune your nitrous A/F by changing out your fuel jets along with your bottle pressure. You can get extra fuel jets for cheap from dynotune or NX. For example on a 75 shot, you might use NX .24 for your fuel jet as a default, but find out that you're running 10.5:1 A/F and decide to change to your .22 jet and get a little leaner A/F. The wideband is also important for safety, to make sure you're not running too lean or rich and to warn you of fueling failure.

You should spend some time researching nitrous before you go through with this. You will need to spend between 800-1000 dollars to have a solid baseline nitrous setup that is safe.

Be careful with a wideband on a single nozzle kit. The mixture doesn't distribute right most of the time. So the wideband might read that you are running 11.5:1 a/f, but one of your cylinders can be dangerously lean. The only safe way to read your kit is to read the plugs.

That is unless you have a direct port with equal distribution blocks. Then wideband that beast all day.

Or good knock detection. I would think it's common knowledge to spray on a new set of plugs and check them.

I know a lot of people that go get it dyno tuned and never check the plugs.

They should tell you how to read plugs in the nitrous kit instructions lol.

How is the dry kit gonna add the extra fuel then?

The only kit I know that you can put the nozzle after the maf is the ZEX dry kit. This kit uses a vaccum line that attaches to the FPR to raise fuel pressure. Pretty much like a RRFPR.

Go put a dynotune dry kit on any car after the maf and watch it blow lol.

Most dry kits add fuel via fpr (like zex, nos, etc.) or the ecu is tuned to add extra fuel when the nitrous is activated (like jwt).

I know that the zex adds fuel via the fpr. I also know that nos makes a mustang specific kit that basically does the same thing. JWT does the kit like the honda guys use K-pro or hondata to add fuel.

You put any other dry kit on the car, you're not adding any fuel.

NOS also makes a dry sport compact kit that does the same thing. I had it before I bought dynotunes conversion wet kit.

$1000.00 for a NX setup...dam ... id wait a bit longer and go boost... too much $$ for rechargeable power.

But if you find a decent kit used with most of what you need, NX is nice proven kit. also think they warratny the solenoids(llc)

NX has a lifetime warranty on their solenoids. That is badass right there!
