Oh dear, this is an accident waiting to happen....

Basic dry kits work off of spiking fuel pressure like FMU's for turbo's... They tend to make more HP with the same amount of N2O, but they are tougher to tune sometimes...

Has anyone here even installed a successful dry system? I would be interested in hearing about the install and tune.... You would need something to adjust the fuel mapping.... Maybe an e-manage....

Yea, so that's about what I got out of that post.

Anyways--> Dry kits I heard are really dangerous if you dont know what you are doing and of course as someone already said REALLY hard to tune.

I'd go with a wet.

"If you're gonna stick it in.. make sure it's wet." --> Zex Wet Kit
