Guys what is the better choice LS1 Dry Nitrous system or LS1 Wet Nitrous system, I a, looking at a 25 to 125 HP Kit.

I see you can pick full kits ready to install for between $750 to $1,100 now depending on the type and HP.

Save your money and put it towards cam/head package, much better then using NOS and much safer. Besides with head and cam it is legal to use anywhere unlike NOS.

Buy a Twin Turbo kit! :bow: what that the bee’s ezz's and end all?

By the way "Mr. Benzor" hows your Twin Turbo going on your car?

Why spend thousands of dollars to put a twin turbo kit on a car, because it’s the done thing and you can say “Hey! Guys I got twin turbo look at me!” Not thanks I don’t suffer for the sheep syndrome.:thumbsup:

There are NA car running as quick if not quicker than turbo charge cars so that not the only answer.

I sit back and smile every times I read a forum that say Twin Turbo’s you got to have them, why because the guys who sell them tell you so.

I ask a question about NOS and that’s what I am interested in not red & white mud flaps or pretty blue head light.

Thanks guys for the info I will go research more on the Wet System.

Your best bet would be to have a talk to your tuner & see what he has had the best results with. It also would depend on the injectors you have in the car. The dry kit would need larger injectors as the extra fuel would need to go through them whereas the wet kit would obviously supply its own fuel through a jet.
Once you start spraying you may also need to remove some timing to prevent detonation. This is where a good tuner will make you better power safely. The Efilive custom os5 has an extra switched table for this so you dont need to lose any power when not spraying.
As for one being better than the other power wise from what I have read in other forums this is false, it is just due to the fact that wet kits were sold as RWKW while dry kits are FWKW.
