I am a big fan of Harris Speed Works. They make great nitrous kits that work well and look good and the service is #1. They make a killer plate system.
As for wet vs dry... that's an ongoing debate. I prefer wet. My tuner prefers a wet kit. He's one of the best in the country, so I probably started liking wet kits because he said to go that way, honestly.

I started with a used LS1 NOS kit 5177 under 500 bux. Dry kit 15lb bottle, plug and play 100hp, with no tuning and it worked great! I skipped all the gizmos to keep the bang for buck. No heater, no window, no opener. It's the refills that start to add up!

A couple years ago it was around $4 a pound. Fill the 15# for about $65. That would last me about 2 weeks of playin around. The race shop had a discount card, buy 10 refills and get one free!

I still pay about $4/lb.
You can look on the web site yourself to find the price of the kit you like. Here's what I'd look into for a starter:

Myself, I like the advanced technology of the Dry kits. though the wet plate kits are not bad either. The dry has a benefit of slightly easier to set-up these days with the Interface, and a much better out of the box a/f than a wet, then they also have the added safety factor. Injecting gasoline into the dry engineered intakes of the front entrance style manifold is a hold over of 40 year old wet carburetor technology. EFI was engineered as an advancement and the dry utilizes this advancement throughly by putting our injectors to work as the fuel adder.

wet is the best and safest way to go,for a good complete kit you will pay 699 and thats for everyting,i have seen alot of TNT kits that work great and are very reliable,but NOS and Harris are good to.
i have a kit for sale that part of it is used the other is new,its a stage II which its ajustable from 100-300hp at the rear tires.
and yes it is best to pull aleast 2 degrees for every 100hp
thanks mike

Did both wet and dry on my car the same day (This was 3 years ago before some of the new electronics). Wet worked right out of the box up to a 150 shot, Dry worked to my satisfaction after the 42's were added (which was month's later), without the larger injectors my 99 would only safely support a 50 shot (AFR/Timing/KR/injector duty cycle monitored, stock injectors were 106% duty cycle and AFR was 13+ on anything above a 50 Dry).

I dont think one is safer than the other. Like Robert stated above, prove it. I personally use a wet kit that uses NX carbon Lightening solenoids and a nitrous outlet 90mm plate. It works great.
Also, If your looking for safety, get all the gizzmos to make it that way.
ie. Window switch, heater, WOT switch, etc.....

I agree. I'd add a heater, fuel pressure safety switch, and the MicroEdge controller http://www.harrisspeedworks.com/shop...age=1&featured
