With a "wet" nitrous kit, the fuel and nitrous are both injected into the engine at the same time with either a nozzle or a plate. On most cars, you tap into the fuel rail with a "AN" type fitting to get this fuel. With the "dry" kit, only the nitrous is injected into the engine through the nozzle. The extra fuel is added through the fuel injectors by means of a fuel pressure switch and some vaccum lines and stuff. I reccomend the "wet" kit because you "know" the extra fuel is getting into the engine. Without this extra fuel, there will be a highly lean condition and SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS will result. I burned a whole the size of a quarter in the top of a piston on my Thunderbird Super Coupe because the extra fuel did not make it into the engine because of a faulty fuel pressure safety switch. That is why I will not use a dry kit again.</P>

but with a dry system is less likely of a backfire and lift the intake right off

Not necessarilly. If you're dumb with a dry kit it can still happen, but with a wet kit if you do an insane jetting and don't have a lot of airflow velocity, you COULD puddle the nitrous and POSSIBLY backfire and f**k up the intake manifold.

However, the odds of this are next to none when you use a brain and have respect for the system, as well as knowing how if functions.
