Default nitrous question

What kind of nitrous should I buy, WET or DRY? What advantages and dis' do each have? Also what Brand? Has anyone had any experience with bad companies? I currently have an injen intake, and body kit on my car, but am planning on getting injen exhaust, UR pulleys and flywheel, and in the future a turbo. I want nitrous that will help me now, and will work well with my future mods. Thanks guys.

I'm no expert on Nitrous but what ive heard from those that are is to go wet if your under 200 shot. And all my mechanic friends use NX for some reason...Maybe its the best.

wet system is the safest and yes you need to upgrade your intake and would be wise to open up your exhaust too

You need to go wet if you plan on getting anything over a 35HP nitrous shot.

Dry means there is no additional fuel added other than what your stock engine will add.

Wet has a fuel solenoid that injects the proper amount of fuel based on how much extra oxygen your engine should get.

you dont need a wet for anything over 35 hp I was runnig 100 shot with a dry system but over that I dont think I would use dry I would go with wet that way your air/fuel is taken care of...

no blown motors or anything like that we did switch to a wet kit though being as we want to tune the ECU more and we want more power...
