Can someone explain the difference between a dry and wet kit?
How big of a shot can a stock engine take?
What parts would be needed to take a 150 shot?

thanks

A dry kit injects straight nitrous into the engine, where as a wet kit mixes the nitrous with fuel as it injected.

a dry kit relies on the computer to add the additional fuel and a wet kit adds the correct amount of fuel for the shot you are using with the nitrous. You should buy a kit with a rpm window switch and you will need a colder plug. NX or NOS kits will recommend exactly what you need. There is also a fuel pressure saftey switch that can be used. Most kits up to a 150 shot are designed to use the other stock engine parts. A Tune with the nitrous is a good idea.

Its not so much as how big the shot is, but how much power you make with each shot. 400rwhp should be your stopping point. I HIGHLY recommend an NX kit with Genx2, MSD window switch, and a dyno tune.

grasshopper start small and work up. Also keep in mind if your bottle pressure isn't high enough you won't feel it as much. Personally after looking at the lower intake I won't go over 125 shot and I'm happy (ok for now) with the 100 shot. I just think it's too much fuel flowing through the intake and too big a chance for a puddle and boom. Also I doubt you can go over a 100 dry shot. If your wanting to hit it with a 150 a focus pump would be a good idea and so would a tune.

wet kit , window switch so that it will not spray under at least 3000 rpm=no puddling. As with any nitrous application, there is always more risk of something failing. A wet kit still uses the same fuel pump, it just adds the fuel through the intake. A dry kit , the computer adds the additional fuel through the injuctors. Properly tuned you can get by with a 150 on the stock fuel pump. get a fuel pressure saftey switch. smallet shot is deff. safer bet.

Check with a NOS ditributor or call Holley. The NOS Dry kit pn/ 05171nos( I believe this is the right kit) is a nice easy to install and works very well. I really like the NX wet on 99+ but the NOS on pre 99. It can be set up for 75 to 150 and uses stock equipment. Make sure you are running copper plugs and I like a step colder. Do not run with platinums. Are you using any kind of timing advance or programmer? if so , you will want to put timing back to stock. Follow manufacturers reccomendations for tune and install.
