just put on Y303 heads , B303 cam and typhoon intake , upgraded fuel pump and 24lb injectors and MAF on my 93 LX , want to do a 75 shot for extra kick , which would be my best bet especially with the pistons that are in the car ????

Well just a though. I had a 75 NOS dry setup on my car i gained about .5 in the eighth mile. My friend had a wet setup 125 shot on his car we gained about the exact same give or take a .1 in the eighth. We basically have the same things done also h/c/i etc. I think for fuel injection the dry setup is best.

There isnt any puddling of the nos and gas mixture in the intake. I read a big article in mm&ff a few years ago.

They dynoed a wet and dry setup the dry made more power.
 
I have a dry kit on my car, 150hp shot. I love it and have had no problems. Just keep up on it (check plugs regularly, inspect inline n20 filter, timing, etc.)regularly and you shoudn't have a problem.

I've gone 11.50s in my car with basically h/c/i and suspension.
 
i would disagree i would use a wet kit, a 1/2 secong gain aon a 125 shot something was terribly wrong. i gained over a 1.1 second gain aon a 125 wet shot from a really crapy style nitrous works plate kit. dry kits have a tendency to lean out too much and if you dont have good pistons, well you'll end up with a couple of extra ash trays. i personally have not seen too much benefit from a dry kit, i know this one kid who is an idiot anyways, create a nuclear meltdown with a dry kit running a 100 shot, a relatively small shot. but hey, you can run what ever you prefer. me, i would only use a wet kit for more reliabilty and longevity of your motor. not to say that it will last forever, it wont, i just melted mine because of a computer problem cutting out the injectors on the left bank causing it to lean out and melted the head, piston and made a cremation of a head gasket. i personally have seen better success and times with a wet kit. hope i could shed some light.
