i ran a 50 hp jet. i did nothing to the computer. i was told the computer would give the motor enough fuel with just a 50 hp jet. i would not run a dry setup again. wet would be the go. even though it is hooked up on my car it i haven't tested it yet. i still have little bugs to fix with the turbo setup before i go using nos. it was NA when i used the dry setup.
i don't know what you mean by pcm?

It would be interesting to see if the computer added enough fuel with no specific tune as there would only have been a intake temp & pressure variation to adjust it. The fact you said that you couldnt feel a difference tells me that it didnt.

Lol if your paying more than $110 for a 10 pound bottle your getting ripped off majorly. Sould be $10 per pound with gst. If they dont freeze your bottle before they fill, your getting less than your 10 pound worth. You can squeeze 13 pound in a 10 pound bottle very safely.
Sure you can remap the comp but also take into acount the ignition side of things. Your have to retard your timing by one degree per 10hp by memory. Get yourself a filter, bottle pressure gauge, fuel gauge and a thermatic heat blanket (Pricey). Very easy to change the carby setup to efi. Ill be doing this at one stage.

well i could feel that the nos was making more power. i just didn't think it was enough to worry about. then there was someone else on this forum who used a 50 hp wet kit and they said the extra fuel made a big difference. i would say the computer wasn't keeping up, that would be why i wasn't getting much more power.
that is why i was saying to stay away from a dry kit. vrv666 is doing stuff to his car on a budget and i am thinking he doesn't want to do anything to the computer???
