get a wet plate kit...wet kits hit harder then dry kits and worse comes to worse with wet you will only blow your intake off where as dry you will gernade the motor

Obviously this would be worse case scenerio, but will not happen (wet or dry) if the tune is great, the quality and install is good, have the proper accessories, and you keep up on routine maintainence (checking plugs, selenoids, fp, etc.)

I think in most cases a wet kit will hit harder than a dry, but not always. Alot of it is in the tuning. When mine hits 3k i have an instant 200+ ft. lbs. of torque...that's hitting pretty damn hard! I actually need to dial it back a bit, just in that specific area.

when you think it wont happen it still could even with a GREAT tune lol

nitrous has a lot of electrical involved when one thing go's wrong.....im not trying to scare anyone i have nitrous also but thats one of the down sides

+1000 plate kits are the only way to go!

but BS on wet kits hitting harder than dry. ive driven with both and they both hit equally hard. it depends on the method of spraying ie: single nozzle, dual nozzle, plate, etc etc.

I went through probably 50+ bottles with a NX 2v wet plate kit, everything from a 100 shot to a 200+ shot and the only time it backfired was when my dumbass didn't have the battery box secured in the trunk (just put it in) and popped off a terminal . lol

Even then, all it did was blow out the gasket in the Pro Products intake.


P.S. that was a built motor. I'd say a 150shot with a solid tune could live for awhile.

Well, let me answer that by asking you this:

Which do you prefer, wet p*ssy or dry p*ssy????

Seriously, both have their pluses and minuses. I ran a 100 wet shot. Personally, 100 shot is the safe limit on a stock internals engine. You CAN run more but, I think you are starting to get into a grey area w/ less margin for error/variance.
