definitely a wet kit... much safer and easier to tune than a dry shot... you normally end up getting more tq out of a wet kit as well.

I wouldn't say either one is "safer". They're both completely safe with proper installation and tuning.
I recommend the wet kit because the dry kits are (hp) limited by the fuel injectors.
Of course, you may need a bigger fuel pump with either system. But, with a wet kit, you won't have to use bigger injectors. That, to me, is a plus.

you will more likely need a fuel pump before bigger injectors but i say keep it safe and do both. but tune for injectors......

Dry is safer by a matter of fact and proven track record when comparing to wet hits. Can you say swelling fuel noid plunger, or intake and hood removal, now these do not happen on a dry hit, period, so is wet safer, no way. Now wet dose have it's place, don't get me wrong, just stating the facts.

"swelling fuel noid plunger" is possible so, in that regard, you win.
However, it's not the most prominent problem in the world. And it's really not a problem with properly maintained kits. My small kit (Compucar) is over ten years old and this has no been a problem. My big kit (NOS) is eight years old and this hasn't been a problem. My brother's kit (NOS) is six years old and, again, this is not a problem. Remember ,the two bigger kits are NOS kits, which, IMHO, isn't the best brand out there.
But, like I said, you're right. And you provided some insight. I just don't think it's worth all the extra expense for most people who want a bigger hit than the dry kit will afford them with stock injectors.
On the other hand, there are some intake designs that require the use of a dry kit without major extra expense. So, there is a place for both, wet and dry, designs.

Are you guys seeing more of this lately? I've noticed a few threads around the net about this. I've heard a few people say it was because of the additives in the fuel. Is this correct? Thanks
