Dry kit nitrous
I have been reading pro and cons of dry vs. wet...and came to a conclusion that dry kit is safer. My goal is only to use 125 shot or less. The ease of installation and price is better with a dry kit. I will mainly use it on the weekend at the track.
Please give me some feed back..

i dont agree with that statement in a efi car that runs a maf you cant go wrong with a dry system with a fuel pressure safety switch. on a wet kit if one of your fuel solenoids goes bad good luck.
In a drykit if your fuel pump goes out nothing will happen because there will be no fuel at all so you cant go lean. no fuel no ignition no problems(other than a bad fuel pump)
another note is that you will find more backfires in wet applications caused by fuel pooling in the itake manifold you may have seen the video of the z06 at the track that blew the hood off and lit the car on fire? in a dry kit you will not get this pooling.
I would(am) go dry shot up to 200hp then go directport after that. I doubt i would ever do a wet plate system right after the maf if not only for pooling reasons

I had posted trying to find anyone with a dry shot backfire and couldnt find anyone. While that doesn't mean they don't exist, I think that the fuel puddling in the intake is the cause of a backfire. Do you think exhaust back-up into the intake can do it too?
The stock injectors are ok to 100-125 dry shot if the motor is stock.

i have run a lot of juice in my life dry stage1 wet stage2 wet and dry stage3 the problem with dry is the injectors shut stick work improperly from increased fuel pressure ls2 and ls1 don't puddle up as much as the 5.0 stang one jerk o** can give any kit a bad name the guy obviosly didn't have a wide open throttle switch or the fuel would have stopped cars blow up when you go extreme when you don't no what your doing very easy to tune wet kit dry kit with mods very hard better have a lot of jets and dont make the wrong choice

look at your intake wear can the fuel puddle at. not like 5.0 ford that guy had a different problem if he re fired had all safety switches outcome would be different and how do you know it was fuel in the intake how about fuel leak

I was trying to find the pictures I had of a yelow C5 that was destroyed under the hood (and the hood) with thousands of damage. I had a rarely used 100 wet shot on my c5 but went with a 80 dry shot on my H/C C6 which hasnt been used yet due to too hig an injector duty cycle.
