  • i'm just curious

    i'm just curious about the whole nos stuff. when someone says like "120 shot" do they mean 120 psi? or what? i don't know much about nos and i've always been kinda curious.

    Thats the amount of added horsepower they are listed to getting. Usually it is less than that, how much so depending on the brand.

        wet and dry are the two types of kits available. Wet meanst it injects nitrous and fuel together into the engine, so it adds its own fuel. Dry kits play with vaccum lines to increase the fuel pressure while you spray to yield more fuel, easier to go lean this way. Wets can have backfires too though [img]smile.gif[/img]

          Trying the search works well.

          Shot is advertised hp gains at the wheels

          Wet is nitrous and fuel combined together by a y fitting nozzle
          Dry is nitrous alone sprayed in and vaccum raises the fuel psi to supply fuel
