Default NOS on a 2000 coupe

My car has 33000 miles, 6 speed, bone stock except the new Z06 wheels I have on off a 07. Running 305 tires in the rear. What kind of NOS system is the best out there? What size shot? Should I run a wet kit or a dry kit? Any good deals out there?

Well I can't tell you where to get a good deal from because I bought mine from a person, not a dealer. I have a nitrous express kit with a throughtle body injection plate wet kit. I was aiming for a 150 shot but ended up with a 120 shot on the dyno. I have the option to go clear up to a 200 shot but I am not going to go that high yet. I also have an FJO proggressive mini controler that I tune with my lap top. This allows me to start it at a 50% shot, or what ever I desire and run on TPS and WOT window switch. I can set what RPM to where I want it to come in at and how fast. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Great boost when you want it. If you want pics or need help with an install let me know

I really appreciate that info. So would you suggest the wet kit over the dry kit? Any special brand that is better then another?

Personally I would say wet kit. I think it is safer because you are also spraying fuel and you don't have to worry about it going lean if you set it up right. Best kits.......this is the only one that I have used and it does me great.....maybe someone else can chime in about other brands

Well my system has a fix for that.....Fuel pressure switch......Will not let the system activate, and or shut it down if there is not enough fuel pressure.
