Wet.


Don't have to rely on the stock injectors, if one out of six go, the whole engine goes. Also there are higher ammounts of NO2 to be pushed. In my opinion 100 is hte limit on dry, while 150 could be achieved with a wet.

How on earth can you push 100-shot of NOS on a dry kit? All it does is plug the fuel-pressure regulator... you are now relying on the STOCK fuel-pump (or upgraded pump) and the injectors that are probably running at max duty-cycle anyways!?! If the S/C and turbos lean out at 5-6psi... about 70-80hp... how is the motor going to handle the NOS?!?

I never got to dyno the 100shot, but with the 75 shot i was running 12.5A/F, which i was told was good....im asking $300 for the NOS, mainly b/c of shipping costs......

By the way... did you squeeze on regular gas (91-92 octane) or only high-octane? Did you ever experience any pinging (detonation)?

Juker, have you run it at the track yet? If so, what did you run/trap? Im curious b/c SFLATYPE-s only traps 103 with 100 shot and i trapped 109....just curious if there is that much difference between the auto and 6speed?

I am thinking about running 75 shot on my TLS... How much was the kit and how much was the install... where did you get it / where did you get it installed?

thanks...

Zoot, why are you still questioning my MPH? Let me explain...When running nitrous, the general rule of thumb is 1 mph for every 10 hp shot of nitrous. I only have a 75 shot, which should only give me between 7.5 or maybe 8 mph MAX. I have an AUTO CL-S which is only trapping 96 mph on motor. If I am lucky to get 8 mph (which is unlikely) I would be at 104mph.

If you RECALL, my highest mph is 103.73...which is about right (96mph + 7.5mph = 103.50 mph).

Now in the same comparison. A 6-speed CL-S runs about 98-99mph on motor (allmotor2000 can verify this). If you have a 100 shot you should be gaining 10mph on juice.

If you trapped at 109mph that's about right (109mph + 10mph = 109mph). I just don't know how to better explain this.

I wasn't able to get the time that I wanted because I had the bottle positioned improperly.

Compared to SFLA_Type-S's time ask him, he is organized and keeps good records. I raced him at the track and well...I have an appointment to go to the doctor to remove the stiches in my ass for the new hole that he tore me...13.5 vs 13.7 .

But the MPH were very close, can't remember mph just time, that is all I am concerned about.

So - Back to the comment that we cannot run a wet shot due to the lack of return feul lines - Is this true, or is it something that can simply be added?

Zoot...no hard feelings but I just get tired of having to explain my MPH more than once. I know that Mattg is trapping 99 MPH, but he is one of the "few" AUTOs trapping that high. Also, if I am not mistaken Mattg has I/H/E + the UR pulleys (including the crank pulley). The UR crank pulleys make a big difference. Most AUTOs with I/H/E are trapping about 96-97 MPH unless they ran in some 30-40 degree weather.

We just don't see those kind of low temperatures this far South

I was consistently trapping @ 98-100 w/my cls @ carlsbad in march. Mods are i/h and SSR comps. temps were in the 60s. i believe i even trapped @ 101 once but i'll have to look at the slips again.

Wet = spray both N20 and Gas

Dry = spray only N20
