Anybody here using a dry kit? I have one and I'm thinking of bolting it on my 96 Cobra. Will the 24lb injectors handle a 100hp dry shot? I know that I will need a fuel pump upgrade, but what about the injectors? Will I need 30's?

Honestly man sell that kit. If you really wanna use a dry kit on your cobra run a 200shot dry. That 200 shot of dry with be 125wet. I have a 150 shot on my cobra and its a BEAST!

If would only go with a dry kit if i'm trying to hide it and make money. I would just run a open line if that was the case.

If you have a S trim blower you should have 42+ size injectors. If your running your 24s and stock fuel pump amazing you haven't blown your motor. Your 24s are fine for a dry shot any day. I think 24s are good for 350hp 30s like 500ho or something. Get NGK TR6 plugs for the nitrious just to be safe.

I took the S trim off and I forgot to change my signature. The car is almost stock, with the stock injectors. I'm just looking for a little extra power at the drag strip. All I want is low 12's. I'm putting 4.10's in later this week too. Considering a Cobra makes 305hp stock, I think 24's might be a little small. I'm not sure. 24's and a 75 shot maybe?

The amount of horsepower you gain is determined by the jetting, so given equal jetting a dry shot will net as much as a wet shot.

I'm almost positive that 24lb'ers will handle a 100 shot. As for a fuel pump, Walbro's are so cheap I'd just pick one up to be on the safe side.

Don't think for a minute that spraying a 150 shot wet and dry will give you the same horse. If that was the case I would have went with a dry shot becasuse it doesn't use fuel and nitrious. Image what would happen if your spraying 150shot and run out of fuel cause it breaks.

Pump is fine injectors are fine. Its only 100 shot dry, I still say man up and spray the 200 dry. Nitrious isn't as scary as people make it out to be. You blow your motor from nitrious when your motor its self isn't running right. Example my friends plug wire came out spraying a 300shot and blow the motor. Its stupid crap like that that blows your motor. I always check my motor over before I spray it.

A 150 shot wet and a 150 shot dry will give the same amount of power. The difference is the wet shot has fuel coming from the unit (safer) and the dry shot relies on the computer/injectors for additional fuel. I don't understand how you could say they are not =....that's silly. I'm not afraid of the spray at all. I've used plenty of wet units....never dry. Dry unit's are more efficient but harder to tune. I need injector sizing info- not encouragement. I already have a fuel system left over from the blower that includes a T-Rex and a 255 in tank pump. I do not need a 200 shot....125 max.
