I saw that episode. A baseline of 97hp to 130hp with a 55 dry shot. Seems odd. I expected more.

Didn't see the episode but if that was on a chassis dyno and we're talkin rwhp then that is about where it should be. 55 crank hp is not going to be 55 rwhp. you have to account for the power lost in the drivetrain. so a 55 shot is no more than about 35-40 at most at the tires. I'm not a fan of dry shots anyway, you need to add extra fuel to get the most from a nitrous system. you dont get the power from the nitrous, you get it from the extra fuel the nitrous allows you to burn. just my $.02.

yea but thats why you increase your fuel in your tune when using dry, so its really the same principle.

True, you can very easily do that to compensate, but that would require someone with half a brain to figure that out. haha. most people want plug and play, and a wet shot adds a little insurance that they dont unknowingly cause some major problems...spark knock is not good with nitrous, personal experience.
