Wet system puddling????
I was talking to a retailer of nitrous this weekend and he said someting that I have never heard or read. He said that a wet system will puddle and cause a hiccup :confused: through the air intake/air box and cause serious damage. He said this wasn't a sometime thing but an inevidable thing. Has anyone every had this problem? Or heard of it? This retailer mostly deals with
:U mustangs and fords, but had a c-5 :chevy in his garage. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Trying to decide on wet/dry.

It can happen, but only if you would spray a really big wet shot of NOS through the intake.
I myself did a 200 wet shot without a problem and there are some others that did also.
If you wanna go bigger shot NOS, then either do a direct port setup, or like me, combine a wet and dry stup. I did 150 wet+75 dry.

I only plan on using max 150 shot. So if I understand correctly I should have no problem with this hiccup thing.
Sure you will have NO puddling on a 150 shot!!

There is always a chance of this happening with any car when you are spraying a wet shot. However, I have never seen or heard of it happening on a C5.
