Yeah. Every nitrous kit made by a reputable manufacturer (NOS, NX, etc.) provided that stupidity on the user's part is left out of the equation.

I say go with a dry kit and don't go over 75 shot on a 2.3 L. A 50 shot is a great start too.

A wet kit will produce more HP's but a dry kit is safe and simple. I've installed both and they both have their place, but for his 2.3, a dry kit for sure.

Just don't get a wet shot go dry it will be easier on youre engine. NOS is a good choice for a brand to use.

It will NOT be easier on your engine, I dont' know where yo'ure pulling this bull**** from.

The ONLY difference is that a wet kit injects the extra gasoline itself with an extra silinoid, whereas a dry kit relied on the stock fuel system.

You got one that's not quite up to par, start pushing the injectors to the lock-up limit, a O2 sensor on it's way out.......ANYTHING and your motor will go boom.


Wet kits CAN produce more than dry kits because of it's independence form the stock fuel system, but on the same size jetting will produce the same amount of power, but with more reliability.

Hey Jeep, I know your a smart guy when it comes to cars, but I don't think you understand how and why a dry N20 kit works. Your wet kit knowledge is right on but let me explain a dry system.
A dry system is a very easy install because it is a single injector installed before the throttle body and is a N20/AIR mixture (thus dry) as appossed to a wet kit which is a N20/FUEL mixture (thus wet). Because of the fact that the "dry" mix is not forced but naturaly asperated there is no need for a purge and less chance of lean fire which is how most people with nos damage their engines. The beauty of a "dry" system is that the N20 makes the air colder and denser allowing more air to be packed into each intake stroke plus the bonus it has flamability (flamible air if will, LOL) . The disadvantage to a "dry" kit is it's not forced via "pressure" into the cylinders resulting in less "mixture" in each cylinder. BUT, sometime that's a blessing in disguise for the novis NOS user.

Bottom line, all N20 is going to take it's toll on your engine because your pushing it harder with greater internal pressure and heat. But a dry kit leaves less chance for stupidity so that's why I say simpler and safer for the "NEW NOS USERS"
