i would only run a wet kit personally. I had the Nitrous Express EFI kit on my old lude. I loved every bit of it. Great kit and fairly easy to install, even for someone who isnt really mechanically inclinded

^ Out of curiosity, why wet over dry? Isn't there a higher chance of detonation with the wet kit?

im running a direct port system because i dont like the idea of leaning my engine out. id guess this is the main reason why most chose wet over dry.

you have more of a chance with detonation with the dry kits. All nitrous really ends up being is oxygen. When you hit the nitrous your adding a **** ton oxygen into the combustion chamber without any fuel to help the burn. This causes you to lean out and run an easier risk of detonating. Wet kits are alot safer than dry kits IMO.

Dry kits increase fuel pressure to deliver more fuel. And most dry kits run pig rich to keep from blowing up. You'll have to tune the mixture by playing with the nitrous and bypass jets. A wet kit, you tune with the seperate fuel and nitrous jets.

Before my motor build, I was spraying a dry 90 shot. I used my vafc to add more fuel in the upper rpm range only in full throtle and just used denso iridium plugs. Did great. After two runs I took the pill out and ran open line and nozle. It had to have been over a 100 shot. Still did great. I would not recommend doing this tho for I was getting it rebuilt anyways.

I would not go over a 75 shot on stock internals. Also get colder plugs and retard timing. Look into getting a wet kit. Just make sure you install it correctly. Good luck.
