Dry Zex, IMO
w/ no more than a 50shot should be quite safe.

I would say dry ZEX only for one reason, you are limited to how big of a shot you can use, but any N2O setup is safe as long as you adjust your fuel delivery to match your N20 delivery and adjust your spark accordingly as well.

As long as you keep it reasonable, NOS is the ****! I've used it for years w/no probs. . . . .

Dry shot inject N2O only through the nozzle, fuel pressure may or may not be increased at the regulator depending on the system you are using.

Wet shot injects N2O and extra fuel through the same nozzle.

I really don't know anything about NOS...but does that mean that a wet system is safer....since it provides the extra fuel?

Not always wet systems are usually larger shots so they require more fuel, dry shots do not offer extra fuel because of their delivery they do not require it.

What's the biggest shot you'd go for with a dry kit? The reason I ask is that I'm going for a h22 swap soon...and some people tell me that lude motors respond well to nos. I guess I should start researching on dry, wet, direct port, plate systems, etc.

Honda intake not designed to flow wet fuel, go dry or a true direct port setup.
