Wet Vs. Dry NOS systems
 

Just would love to know your thoughts....whats the diffference, is anyone safer than the other, etc.....

well, it depends on you application.

There are two schools of thought as to which one is "safer"
1. Dry is safer because there is no fuel injected into the upper intake so it wont pool and backfire...
2. Wet is safer because the fuel injected will prevent a lean condition.

I personally like the dry kit. I have a 150 hp shot and inspect ALL my plugs frequently and havent found any clyl with a lean condition. There is also a fuel pressure safty switch that wont allow the solenoids to open if there isnt sufficiant pressure.

I like the dry kits as well. They have better fuel distribution compared to wet systems since the Mustang upper intake was never designed to flow fuel, just air. Plate systems work ok, but you still run the chance of fuel puddling and backfiring. A manifold full of nitrous can't ignite, but one full of fuel and nitrous can. Just make sure you study up on fuel requirements of dry systems and learn how to check plugs.

I like the wet systems. The plate between intakes style (nos big shot)eliminates the fuel puddling in upper intake problems, and you still have all the advantages of a wet system.

I'd have to say that I like the wet system. You can add a bigger shot if your engine can take it. The range for dry ones is from 0-100 hp increase. Plus you need to upgrade the injectors for anything more. With the wet one it's more emission friendly. Better gas milage also.
