ive "Heard" once reach about 125-150 its good to not use dry shots

i wana run a 75-125 shot soon but dry....is what im hearing just bullshit or what?

also what are some benifits of a wet shot vs a dry, and what else would it require?

[2000Mustang]

If interested, I have a 75 dry shot for sale. If you decide to go wet, you can buy a kit to make it wet.

Who told you dry systems are bad? Whoever it was needs to shut the hell up until they gain some knowledge.

what would you recommend for a 75-125shot or even 150shot...

i'd rather do dry shots, but if wet will be better or safe on the engine i'll stick with a wet kit

NOS or NX dry system.

wet will be better / easier to tune, my impression is that a dry shot is good for 100 or less, and that dry was a good way to go on top of a blower

You should only give advice on topics in which you have knowledge instead of spreading misinformation.

I have experience with both systems ... wet is my preference .. its easy to set up ... easy to dial in .. I didn't like my dry system b/c the comp mang.system that comes with gave me trouble .. and I switched over to a wet plate system w. window switch and wot ...

well considering i installed both types of systems please tell me how I am miss informed, wet is safer to tune period... you just need a window switch so you dont pool.

that plus the power gain between wet and dry is very different so its not like 100 dry shot = 100 wet shot, and the tuning varies accordingly. For pushrods yea its alot easier, but for the 4.6 crowd ( and ive been there and done this) the nx wet plate system is the best bet imo, to be fair i am by no means a pro - nor to do i pretend to be, i could be wrong but take it for what it is - advice over the internet... if my personal experience makes me a misinformer then ohh well, call me guilty.

Window switches have nothing to do with fuel pooling.

We dynoed a 95 Cobra with an NOS dry kit with 150hp jets. That car made 167hp more at the wheels with that nitrous kit. We also did an 87 LX with a Nitrous Works wet kit with 175hp jets. It made 177hp more at the wheels with nitrous. Very similar. Wet or dry doesn't mean more or less horsepower. The only difference between the two is a dry kit doesn't introduce the fuel and nitrous as a mixture, the fuel is introduced separately mainly because EFI intake manifolds are designed to flow air and not fuel.

the wet kit pools when you spray too low in the rpms, ive seen it happen and a window can definitly prevent that. as far as dry vs wet goes all I know is in the car i dealt with the 100 dry shot put about 100 xtra down while the 100 wet kit put 120 extra down, with an even bigger gain in torque over the dry setup. Are you talkin about a 5.0 or a 4.6 or some other pushrod?

damn double posting

Fuel puddling occurs not due to rpm at all, it is due to the design of EFI intakes. They are designed to flow air, not fuel so they have dips and valleys all over. From what I understand the 4.6 intakes are not as bad as the 5 liter intakes but I've never cut a 4.6 intake apart. I do know that the fuel puddling problem exists with 4.6 engines too. Maybe its not as big of an issue as it is with 5 liters but the problem is still there.

As far as horsepower numbers go, 4 lbs of nitrous is 4 lbs of nitrous no matter if it is introduced with fuel as a mixture or introduced separately from the fuel.

wel pound for pound your correct, but delivery makes a difference just look at direct port cars. Im only talkin about 4.6 motors here, and puddling is a serious issue if you spray below 3 -3500 rpm its going to happen = boom

Choice between direct port and dry systems, direct port all the way. There are no issues with direct port systems that I know of. The wet plate systems and wet single nozzle systems are the ones with the issues.

yea direct port for sure, if youve got 1500 bucks

B.S...Has anyone ever seen a puddle of nitrous oxide? Of course not. Nitrous doesn't condense unless it's cold enough or under enough pressure (How many psi are those bottles?). The whole nitrous pooling theory is a bunch of crap. The problem is some other variable that surrounds an attempt at a proper nitrous tune.
