nitrous wet vs dry
so ive been looking at nitrous kits and noticed dry kits are alot less but it seems that they provide less hp. Although i really only want to run somewhere around 75. what is the difference between wet and dry (advantages and disadvantages)?

they make the same power, just how everything is delivered. a wet kit has the enrichment fuel delivered with the n2o, and the dry uses the injectors to deliver the enrichment fuel. i recommend a wet kit, but a dry kit is just as good.

if u were only shooting for around 75-90 would you still recommend a wet kit? if so why?

i recommend a wet, just a personal preference thing. a dry will handle as much as wet kits will. i like the wet kits just for the fact the enrichment fuel is delivered independantly with the nitrous and dont rely on the injectors. something as small as a 75 wont matter, but when you move up in shots it might require larger injectors.

On a car with a returnless fuel system its best to run a dry shot and have the injectors take care of the fuel increase. Wet shots work best on return style fuel systems because there is extra fuel ready for the taking. The best option is to run a dedicated fuel cell/system for the nitrous that you can fill with high octane and run the same NA tune.

The Dry systems are easy to install, and fairly easy to tune especially with small amounts like 75hp. If your using a return-less style fuel system, i would look into the Zex wet shot systems that are specially tailored for returnless style fuel systems (99-04). With 75hp, it doesnt really matter which way you go.. both will give you a kick in the pants and are safe.

Wet is what is used on S/C motors, not that you cant use them on a N/A motor. Here is the kit I bought, for my 4.6. I'm using a KB2.6 blower and the rest is top secret.
Zex

N/A tune has way too much timing advance! this will cause detonation and blow stuff apart. nitrous is just like any other power adder, instaltions and tuning is the key! if done correctly and safely, it will be fine. when done wrong or short cuts are done, that is when problems occur.

Of course it does, unless you bump up the octane. Its only possible with a dedicated fuel cell filled with 100+ octane. (You typically pull only about 2* for each 50hp.) Then the extra octane can keep the nitrous hit in check at the same timing. Granted its a lot more work and $$$ for a small shot, but still the "best" way IMO.

NO it dont matter what octane you run, N/A tuned timing will still detonate and cause nitrous back fire or detonation killing the bottom end. a safety reference is 1 degree for every 50 shot. you run colder plugs, back the timing out to prevent detonation. higher octane withstands detonation and takes more spark to efficiently combust, but an N/A tuned car still has too much timing for race fuels on the bottle. you can get more agressive on timing with race fuel, but still no where near an actual N/A tune. why would you even think about telling anyone this? its misinformation like this that cause people to try and end up blowing their shit.
