Dry NOS?

ok i just won a bid on ebay for a Dry NOS kit. I know that a few people on this site are running a dry system. So with that being said, can someone give me a DIY or step by step instructions on how to install this? also is it the same way as the NX Express DIY? with a V-AFC can i tune it so more fuel is being added when I spray? can someone tell me how i can do this?

if it is a holly "nos" kit, you can call them and they will tell you that it won't work unless you convert it to a direct port kit. with that kit, you do not have any way to add more fuel on that car.

i sprayed 75 dry shot direct port with stock internals .. i used it once and changed the pill back to 50 shot .. !
I used a holley powershot dry kit ... kinda looks the same as that pic on that link....
and for precaution .. hmmmm.. maybe yourself .. control yourself not to be squeezing the juice too much ... and read the n20 FAQ on this forum .. !

I have al ready read the Nitrous Thread. I would only Squeeze when i actually race. im not one to squeeze just for the hell of it. I mean im going to have to squeeze to make sure everything is running properly. Also i talked to a friend of mine tonight about no way to adjust the fuel going while i spray he said that the V-AFC and a 8 gauge wire ran to the fuel pump will work just fine.

No Nitrous is good for any motor. but there are steps and directions on how to not detonate your motor. If you follow them and know how to use it properly then you should only face minimal engine wear.
