Default running a nitrous setup-help!

Ok guys after a long hard battle in my head between a mod i have decided to go with nitrous. I have been researching for a good while and i see that wet is safer yet i have a friend who is selling a complete zex dry shot pretty cheap to me and its only jetted for a 75 shot. now my current mods for air and fuel are walboro 255 fuel pump, 24# injectors, 87mm pro flo mas, steeda auto timing adjustor, sct tune chip 4 bank eliminator, i figured if i get the dry shot i would send them my chip back and tell them i need the nitrous tune for my car. So guys would i be straight retarded to run a dry shot on my car or do i have the supporting mods? i also run the bosch platinum 4 plugs which im thinking of changing. which plug should i run for nitrous? thanks guys

Running a dry shot wouldn't be retarded. mrtstang is running a 100 dry shot and is making some awesome torque numbers with it. You could always just buy bigger jets for the kit if you are getting that great a deal.

You will want to go one step cooler on the plugs. Most people on here like NGK.

Go to americanmuscle.com they have a "how to" video on installing a wet kit. Along with needing to get a bottle warmer and pressure gauge, you should look into getting a window switch. NX Gen X II kit has everything you would need.

i only spent 200 bucks so im pretty happy. Friends are great. I have a wot switch which i think ill be using. My friend is coming over tomorrow to help me install it. BTW guys ive got a good bit of noise from my rear end i never noticed it o much until i pulled my back seats out, sound deading material, 2 12" subs, jack and spare tire. i do have 373's and im not sure how many miles are on them but under acceleration its like a wah wah wah wah wah wah wah noise louder with more speed i beleive. I let off the gas and all noise is gone. As soon as i touch the gas the noise is there

Friend's with 4.10 gears was like that. Mine, with stock gears is silent and smooth. It sounded a bit like tire noise but we tried my wheels and tires on his car and it was the same. It didn't really sound like gear whine like you'd hear from the transmission.
