Default thinking about going dry?

Hey just seeing if anyone else is running a dry nitrous kit and what they thought? was looking at andersonmotorsport NX dry Kit that came with a PMS tuner. From what i was reading as long as the fuel system is upgraded adequatly it seems safer to run then a wet system cause you dont have to worry about fuel puddling up, and back firing

thoughts?

yeah it's carbed but like with any dry kit you bump the fuel pressure up expecially on an efi car and on a carbed car depending on the shot you'd run a step or two richer jet, but IMO anyone who runs a larger shot than 75-100 dry on a carbed car is a fool cause after that you really need to put larger jets in then the car can end up running crappy N/A and ***** to the wall on the bottle so for a carb car it really is better to run wet since less tunning of the carb occurs, but either way efi or carb it really is safer to run wet to avoid a lean detonation issue, if you run a 75 shot dry on an efi car you'll be totally fine
