    Question Wet or Dry NOS

    I'm looking to get some giggle juice and was wondering what type of Nitrous system to go with. I'm looking around 50-75 hp on a KB supercharged LX. Thanks for the replies

    This would depend on multiple factors.

    What kind of bottom end one is running.
    What horsepower level is prior to nitrous.
    How well the car is tuned.
    A fuel system that is up to par for the job.

    As long as the tune is conservative, the bottom end is sound and the fuel system is up to snuff one could add enough nitrous to bring them up to the limits of the stock block. Most I've ever run across someone adding was around 100-125 shot on top of the blower.

    Would that be a wte or dry system? N/A it made close to 325 hp with the kennebell i think it will make around 450 hp at the fly.
    Thanks for the reply

    If it was me, I would not chance a dry set-up. Wet is the only way I'd go, better to have too much fuel than not enough.

    To be honest, I really don't know & didn't even think of that. PM Goliath, he's got some knowledge in this area.

    Would there be room for a plate setup between the blower and the intake?
    89 Coupe with parts stacked inside of it and about 30#'s of dust on it with no end in sight. :weird:





    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D

    Yes there would be room to put a plate system, but isn't that a little to RAD. The lowest shot that I've seen is 150hp. Remember stock bottom end with a main support and stock rods on forged pistons.
