I heard dry nitrous was better than a wet kit because u will never run too rich or lean because of the changing bottle pressure. but can a mustang gt fuel injectors handle it? can i still keep my stock injectors or do i have to go with something bigger. i would never go over a 125 shot in my car anyway but i would like to know if they would handle it if i wanted to? i was thinking about a wet or dry 100 shot but i heard dry was better.

wet for anything over a 50 shot. your stock injectors will be fine w/ a 100 shot.

Better is a relative term. It all depends on the application. Bottle pressure is important on a wet setup since the fuel solenoid doesn't care what the bottle pressure is, but that's why you should utilize a bottle heater and a quality liquid filled bottle pressure gauge.

But that doesn't mean that bottle pressure isn't important on a dry setup either. Inconsistent bottle pressure on a dry setup might not create an overly rich or lean condition, but it will hurt your ET/MPH. A bottle heater should be automatic with either dry or wet.

Wet kits are much simpler to install, and they don't depend on the MAF and stock fuel system to add fuel enrichment. The stock fuel system is fine up to a 125-150 wet shot as the fuel/N20 is sprayed behind the MAF. This is why a wet setup is preferred on street motors beacause of the simplicity and the reliability.
