    id say wet...i think its safer if you install it all correctly plus it'll run better than the dry kit...

      It's been kicked around a bunch...


      Dry is a little simpler to install.

      Dry is less likely to cause an intake backfire, because there is no fuel being introduced into the upper intake. (which is not designed to carry fuel)


      Wet is said to hit harder. (big plus!)

      Wet is less likely to go lean if you go with a big shot. (go lean and you can hole a piston, or detonate and ruin a head.) Tuning a big dry shot is really hard to do because stock fuel injectors can only flow so much.


      Those are the main distinguishing points.

      I have a 120 dry. With bigger fuel injectors. The bigger injectors cause me to run rich at idle and tend to foul the plugs a bit. I'm thinking about converting to wet. Or a supercharger...
