Go wet it is safer for the motor.
I have a good condition wet nitrous kit for sale.
If you have any nitrous questions PM.

Wet is better if you want more gains, I would also agree it is safer. Wet kits tap into your fuel system and supply n2o and fuel through the nozzles. Dry kits adjust your fuel pressure to add extra fuel. If you are running less than a 75 shot dry is ok, but more than that I would def go with a wet kit.

That is what you need to decide. 75 and less, I say that the dry shot is safer due to the fact that there is no possibility of fuel puddling in the intake manifold. Over a 75 shot a wet kit is normally best because there's a less chance of running lean. Unless your willing to pay for JWT's setup, which is a dry 100 shot and uses bigger injectors to dump fuel into the motor ONLY when spraying the nitrous.

dry shots are never safer then wet, they're just cheaper and easier to install. I'm currently running a 50 wet shot on my egg, the fuel doesn't puddle because it comes out as a mist with the nitrous, unless you mount the fogger(s) incorrectly, like at an awkward angle etc. the whole point behind wet kits are to mix nitrous with fuel to lower combustion chamber temperatures and because it generally makes more power. but if money is tight a 50 shot dry will be fine for a dd with colder plugs and 15 deg timing, if u want a 75 or higher u can do a dry shot but u better make sure to compensate for it by adding fuel system upgrades, retarding timing, changing plugs. etc.

Lol the fuel can actually puddly easily in a highport manifold due to the fact that it has to be sucked upward through the manifold into the motor. Coming out as a "mist" or not it's still only ~44 psi.

actually stock fuel pressure at idle is between 32 and 38psi, and regardless of fuel pressure the nozzle that you install in the fogger is going to determine the amount of fuel released with nitrous as the solenoids are opened, and most foggers in production today are flow calibrated to reduce puddling. so i would have to point blame at the installer if you're running into puddling issues. However in an absolute worst case scenario u change the fuel nozzle in the fogger to a size smaller and now u have less fuel entering the IM with the nitrous and its still safer then dry.

now im not gonna sit here and waste my time arguing with you so getting back on topic there are different theories on which nitrous kit is better, but really it depends on what you want, your current setup, and your budget. I recommend, and will continue to recommend wet nitrous kits. With a proper setup, you can enjoy nitrous shots of 100 horsepower and more, reliably.
