Wet. Only works if the fuel is working too. Dry can still shoot nitrous if the fuel is working or not.

Well with a dry shot you increase the fuel to the motor through the fuel line itself. You're just up the fuel thats given to the engine through the stock lines. With a wet shot you're adding fuel through an additional line. So if you have a dry shot and the fuel isnt delivering then KABOOM!!!!

I had an NX wet plate kit. Loved it. NX solonoids deliver the best most consistent shots on the market. Dyno proven as well. A NX 100 wet shot will give you almost that to the rear wheels. A Zex or NOS 100 shot will give you maybe 80 to the rear wheels. NOS is just old school and out dated IMO. Zex is just a cheap inexpenxive route although they have some nice components, their solonoids just don't compare. I had the IceMan NX solonoids. They are the Carbon Fiber covered one's. I ran 100 shot with ZERO tune. I ran NGK TR-6 plugs gapped at .030" with 93 octane. Never had one problem. I ran up to 110mph and turned the ignition off about 3 seconds after decel, coasted to a stop and checked my plugs. They were Perfect. I wouldn't reccomend doing anymore than 100 of NX without retarding timing. I wouldn't suggest running 100shot for too long either, although you cannot do that anyways or you'll chance burning up your solonoids.
PLEASE do it right and get a RPM activator switch and Fuel safety switch solonoid. You'll def. fudge up things if you over rev your car and hit your rev limitor with nitrous on(happens with a miss shift)(how confident are U????) Auto's don't need it, but I still reccomend it. The right set-up will cost you $1200-1400 to make it proper. N20 Is more expensive than people think. The "kits" they sell are just bare bones!!!!
