i like a 150 dry, just have it dyno tuned while you spray... make sure you have the right A/FR.

Be careful as I tried running a dry system but the nitrous keep freezing the MAF due to the short intake.

Dont waste your time with a dry kit. You will be disappointed. Run a wet kit, its safer and hits much harder..

there are diferent ways to do a dry kit. most of the time when someone says dry kit they are planing on just spraying thru the maf. for me this didn't work well at all. my a/f ratios were all over the place and i got codes from freezing the maf.

i think a properly done dry kit (not thru the maf) is safer and there is no reason why a wet would hit harder then a dry if the nozles are at the same place. i have seen kits where they add pulse width to your injectors when the dry kit hits. that is the best way to do things rather than trying to put fuel thru the stock intake.

that being said i simple wet kit works great as long as you have the safety stuff like wot switch and window switch. wet is what most people around here use.

Default Dry NO2

Thanks guys!
The reason for the question is I have a dry kit I took off our old 97 Z28(LT1) It worked great on this car. It had a best time of 7.40s in the 1/8 mile all stock except for gears and the car was convertable (heavy 3795lbs). The kit has a Nitrous pressure regulators that connects to vac lines to adjust fuel pressure. I was hopping this would work on the TBSS.
