I wouldnt go with dry kit for our cars. Its better to run rich than lean. Lets just say that if you cant keep track of your nitrous, your not ready for it. You cant have something go wrong with nitrous so you gotta know whats wrong when it does go bad. For instance, my microswitch bracket broke off thus causing me to overev. You got to maintain it. If you get someone else to install it, you wont know how everythings built.
I'd say go for the nitrous if you want power. Nitrous isnt as bad as everyone says it is.

People are going to flame you for saying NOS when NOS is a BRAND not a fuel! Nitrous Oxide or Nitrous would do but nos is the ricer term for the actual liquid.

Nitrous is extremely reliable; it always does what it is supposed to do.

The people that blow stuff up usually have a loose nut between the seat and the steering wheel.

Don't use too much and you'll be fine.

Make sure the fuel system is installed correctly and is functioning.

Nitrous without fuel is a bad, bad thing.

yea, it does what its supposed to do...its like sandblasting ur pistons each time u shoot it. and if u dont have enough fuel to accompany the nitrous/air mixture, of course ur gonna have problems.

It's great! I have a nitrous system on my 04 ex coupe and is awesome. I use a humble 50 shot wet system w/remote opener.
