dry means it's a nos only system and it relys on your fuel system for the extra fuel needed to burn. wet supplys both nos and fuel. without extra fuel you will burn a hole in your piston. with a carbed motor it is very easy to modify your carb to supply enough fuel to use dry. if your running injection i'm not sure how you would supply your engine with the extra fuel needed to run dry nos. perhaps someone that's into fuel injection could answer that question better. nevertheless it is my opinion that wet gas is a safer system to run. less chance of roasting your pistons. good luck. sick

when using a "dry" nitrous kit, on fuel injection the kit rely's on the MAF sensor to compensate for the extra O2, but it will only compensate for so much, over 100 shot the MAF probably couldnt keep up, so most upgrade to the wet kit. the wet kit mixes the 2 before or during it enters the intake.
