Wet Kit vs Dry Kit

I know this topic has been covered and beaten to death, but with so many differing answers, I'm still not convinced. From the threads I have looked at, it looked like most people said we should use a wet nitrous kit, but then others said that we can only use a dry kit. Plus, the FAQ thread, says that a dry kit is our only option. I went to the performance shop this morning where I get some of my mods done, and they said that I should use a dry kit. Well, which is it, dry or wet? Or is it just a personal preference? Can somebody provide me with some detail or proof of which one is supposed to be used in our cars?

dude- wet all the way- the reason that everyone says that you can only use a dry is due to the returnless system- theres more than enough pressure to support a wet kit- and its a hell of a lot safer-

you have to use a wet kit because our cars do not have a fuel return line.

From what i've heard from many different performance shops, is that honda engines are much better of with a wet kit as opposed to a dry kit, the guy was explaining it to me for awhile, but i can't even remember exactly what he had said...but from what he said
WET ALL THE WAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm impressed!! You searched, talked to your shop, AND read the FAQ? Are you sure you're a newbie?

Do yourself a favor. Go to the website for Python Injection, call the 800 number and ask for Holland. This guy knows his shizzle. Ask him all the questions you have, I know he helped me a lot.

noooo i believe you can go up to a 70 shot without doing any internals except for 2 stage colder spark plugs. there are 2 members that have been running this for a while now with no problems. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
