Exactly.

Dante, the thing about nitrous is that poor parts and poor installs (not a shot at you in any way) lead to nitrous backfires. Now I for one enjoy a good nitrous backfire, but chances are the guy behind the wheel does not.

All joking aside,

Based on what I know, a wet shot will be safer because of the fuel solenoid adding fuel instead of your injectors. If you add a dry shot on an engine whose injectors are already max'd out or dirty you are headed to boom city. I would be very hesitant to use a kit that is old or not right for the application. If a dirty or old solenoid fails (especially a fuel solenoid) when you are spraying then you are in deep trouble. Especially on cast pistons.

Also, in everybody's posts I don't recall seeing any mention of safety switches, like a fuel pressure safety switch, WOT switch, window switch, or anything like that. Controlling when your nitrous sprays is absolutely critical.
