Default Nitrous ?

Hey fellas,

I'm trying to decide on the best nitrous options for me. I am mostly using it for the street, but will go to the track once a month.

I am going to keep it 100 shot or less w/ my 408 setup to save my spec III clutch. Afriend of mine added a 100 NX wet shot and got over 630+ rwhp and over 700 tq from the 100 shot w/ a similar 408 setup.

What do you guys suggest? wet/dry/direct port?

From the research that I have done, dry shots are best w/ a 100 shot or less since it is using the MAF to add fuel. All the local guys are using wet kits, but I'm worried about the nitrous backfire.

Any input is appreciated and thanks in advance.

If You're Going To Do It Do It Right.
I Have A N/x Direct Port Kit And Love It You Can Adjust
From 50rwhp To 250rwhp And Because It's Direct Port It
Reduces The Risk Of Fuel Pooling In The Intake, And Leaning Out Cyl 7&8.
