I rode on cut B&G/Kilen rear springs for a short while, the car handled like crap, it looked great though.

But with a dry shot you need to add the fuel yourself with programming, right? (Something that you need to "do"). I mean I know nitrous allows you to burn more fuel efficiently so I know extra fuel is commin from somewhere. Wet is more of an add on, and dry is more of a "tuned" option, the way I look at it.

It depends on the car, some manufacturers have special bolt on fuel regulator add on devices which bump up fuel pressure only when the nitrous is sprayed. Those systems use the nitrous line pressure and convert it into the right amount of pressure needed to bump up the fuel pressure on the regulator, no ecu programming needed. Its possible you can adapt the system to any car, but my experience only lies with wet shot systems.

Also I don't know about dry shotting, I believe if you run a dry shot you should have the fueling to support that, unless you can tune your car I don't know if it is a good idea. This is all with limited knowledge, but from what I understand wet shot is safer as you run a less chance of going lean.

Both dry and wet shots add extra fuel. One would be stupid to force oxygen into your engine without pairing it up with the appropriate amount of fuel. Wet shots add the fuel by tapping directly off of the fuel feed, then supplying fuel through an additional solenoid and nozzle. A dry shot delivers the extra fuel through the factory fuel injectors. "Dry shot fuel" can be added via ecu programming or by bumping up the fuel pressure at the regulator (and maybe a few other ways).

I was told by a ZEX representative that a dry kit is ideal for turbo cars. They said that the one nozzle, installed before the TB, only sprays under WOT if the system is active. If you run a safe size jet (20-50 shot), you really aren't risking much. Eh?

Depends on if your injectors can handle the extra fuel demand.

I went down to a .024 gap for my 100 hp wet shot. NGK R5671A-9 copper are two steps colder than stock, try those.

best to spray in 2nd , 3rd , and 4th gear --- starting at 3.5k to 4k up and going till just before shift --- NEVER HOLD THE BUTTON THROUGH THE SHIFT

Good point, I was running a MSD RPM window switch from 3500 to 5900 rpm to ensure that nitrous would not spray during the shift.
