dry kit sprays the no2 into the air intake
wet kit mixes it with the fuel

the safety depends on the tune, and the engine condition
as suggested, it would be best to post in the tech forum for more info...

i never said why which was better. i assume is because people think they can spray **** loads without hurting car.

No really, what is better... or what do YOU use anothny - and don't say NA is the way to go. And while we are on "this is better than that" rant...
supercharger (centri, roots, or twin screw) or turbo?

I know centri sc spool up close to turbos, but they dont make squat low end... same as turbos
Roots styl sc (stock eatons on cobras) are good for low end tq, but after what rpm does a twin screw become more efficient?

Somewhere I read that boost lb per lb, turbos make more hp... is this true?
I know a LOT depends on the tune, but is it actually the case?
Major determining factor is going to be the application, so consider a dd that goes to the track once or twice a month.

...im not even gonna say gm or ford.... (I already know...)

It's better because I use it !

Actually, I've always heard wet is better. The only arguement I've heard about the wet kits, that make sense to me, is spraying on a B headed 4v under 3250 due to the IMRC plates. The theory is the fuel will puddle and blow the intake more easily than the later heads or 2v's. I guess we'll have to submit this to Mythbusters .

lb for lb of boost, turbos do make more power. Superchargers are more popular because of the massive quantities of kits that are available on the open market. I prefer a twin screw because of the massive amounts of torque they make in the lower RPM range at low boost levels. There is no concrete 'this is the best forced induction' answer to the question. You have to decide what's best for the application you have in mind for the car.

One kit is not better than another. Just like engines, it all depends on the situation. The dry kits on the returnless cars cause big problems with major lean spikes. The CCRM on the returnless fuel cars can not supply enough voltage to the pump to fix this, even when tuned.

The biggest misconception with turbo's is the turbo lag, and the lack of low end power. If the compressor map of a turbo is matched for the desired engine and powerband, a turbo can spool as low as 1500rpm, which will negate any arguement on lack of low end power.

Again, this is all considering the fact that the person that is creating this, knows what they are doing.... that's what is lacking on most vehicles.

Roots style blowers, twin screws or what are commonly called positive displacement blowers, use up about 20-25% of the power they make just to "drive themselves". Centrifugals use about 10-15% because they are belt driven, they still use some of the horsepower produced. Turbo use very little power, I have seen figures as low as 2-3%. So it is not necessarily that turbo's make more power, its just that the power transferred to the rear wheels is greater. Less loss.
FunkyBoss is correct BTW. They had problems with wet kits due to puddling of fuel in the intake.

Good info... as usual. I had no idea that turbos can spool up at 1500 - and still be usefull exceeding that.
You failed to mentiontion what your preference is tho.

I guess there is not really an aftermarket supply for a setup with a relay and another pump maybe so the car doesn't run lean? Or not yet at least until someone gets the idea?
