Here is some advice, never run dry kits. You have more of a chance of detonation and engine failure with dry compared to wet. Plus the price difference between dry and wet isn't a large amount.

If you care about your engine and its longevity, stick to wet kits. Also, I think the rule of thumb is anything 50 shot or below you can manage to run a dry kit. Anything above 50 shot needs a wet kit, if i'm not mistaken.

Good luck.

97 supra is right on. Never use a dry kit. Another guy was asking about it and we all told him the same thing. He still went out and got it. Didn't make the power it advertised so he coverted it to wet. The only system I recommend is Nitrous Express. Other ppl have had luck with ZEX and NOS. If you want a good price on a good nitrous system, talk to Audible Mayhem.

if you are looking for a cheap kit, there is always the NX main line?

thanks guys, with nitrous, to do it right you are looking at around 1000 or right under that. i mean, its an inexpensive way of making your car fast compared to a turbo or SC but in now way cheap to do right....





pm me if you have any other questions... thanks again guys!!


ok with the dry kits, there is a vacuum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator that tricks it into opening all the way and dumping more fuel in, well the stock fuel pressure regulator is in our gas tank so thats out of the question... dry kits only work on small shots and are still scary to me, i would never even think about it..
