Cody, a wet kit might be best for your car....easier install if you don't wanna pay to have it done...but wet kits sure are fun too...gonna get it from TSP?

Yeah, what he said.
NOS dry kit 5175 is the easiest and simplest in my opinion

[SlimJim1284]

But on a stock car wouldn't a wet kit be safer?

[12secondv6]

No.
Our intake manifolds are not designed for fuel.
Air only.
Wet kits can have MASSIVE nitrous backfires!
Safest, and I use that term loosely, would be a dry nitrous kit using a small to moderate shot level

exactly.. Hey the j is next to the h on the keyboard.. Doesnt a dry kit have a better chance of leaning out then a wet kit.. I heard that on stock injectors and fuel system that a dry kit is hard on it.. I am not as familiar with N2O as James but I know I would rather have a backfire than burn pistons.. Thats why I went with a wet kit spraying a 50 shot. well that and the fact that I got the kit, bottle warmer, purge, and a bottle psi gage on the bottle and a autometer psi gage for 400.00. I already burned a piston ring and spun a bearing in my first motor N/A due to lost oil pressure. But Nitrous is dangerouse no matter what type of settup you have..

I think a dry shot is better anyway, easier to tune without worrying about backfiring as much. I got a bottle of Nitrous Express with my tax return money but my car has over 100k miles on it. So it will have to wait. :D

well i ended up buying an NOS kit off of ebay. i went dry. the kit number is 05100NOS. and it comes with three jets they are 32 34 36. my question is what hp are those jets.

Nope, with a nitrous jet and a fuel jet, you can actually do a little fine tuning on the A/F ratio...dry you cannot. So how again is a dry kit easier to tune???

I don't know exactly on the smaller sizes, but I think:
32 jet is 30hp
34 jet is 40hp
36 jet is 50hp

To go on up from there:
47 jet is 85hp
63 jet is 120hp

Because if you run a wet kit and you don't have an adequate fuel supply the chance of an engine damaging backfire is greater. A dry kit like a 50 or 75 shot doesn't need as much attention to tune as a wet kit. I agree that a wet kit is a better performer than a dry kit but that advantage comes with a little higher chance of hurting the motor.

Um, adjust jets?
Dry or wet can be dyno tuned.
Nitrous jets be it nitrous and fuel on a wet kit or nitrous and bypass on a dry kit
Anything can be tuned or adjusted.

Dry kit is 'safer'
'safer' &lt;--- there is NO safety with nitrous!!!

Wet kit backfire HUGE amount of damage!!!
Dry kit backfire not too much damage at all!!!

Trust me on that

[2000v6bird]

so how would i find out exactly what "shot" the jets are. a website or something i could go to

[12secondv6]

Call NOS and speak with a tech there
