Anybody running a 150 shot dry on the stock injectors and fuel pump? Ignoring the injector duty cycle have you seen your A/F ratio shoot lean?

Well I tested out the nitrous at the track last night I and I dropped 1.1 seconds on my quarter with just a 100 shot I love my ny-trex kit. I believe most spray a dry. There is already alot of fuel being injected into the engine since the supercharger has injectors and most of the time you should upgrade the fuel pump you should have plenty of fuel to support a 50 or so shot safely. That would be all you need you would probably end up getting 75 or so rwhp from a 50 shot since it will cool the IAT so much.

Is there something you do to prevent nitrous explosions with a wet kit? I have never delt with nitrous before so I am trying gain as much knowledge before I make up my mind.
I'm a fan of dry because of the simplicity and also the lack of error by the user allowed. I bought a dry kit with 2 nitrous solenoids and I really can't think of too many things that can go wrong...
The chances of both 'noids sticking open at the same time has got to be about zilch.
Also, they are a bit cheaper. Some of the accessories aren't necessarily needed.

Just run both, that what I am doing. I have been doing a 75 wet out of the hole and 75 dry after 2nd gear but I just installed a 125 jet for the dry and may try it out this weekend. 200 shot and a 408 maybe it will run better then the 7.50 I ran last time.
