lol do you know what your talking about? i think you should go read this articles again on google...
Wet shot is safer than a dry shot and direct port is the safest. If you really want to do nitrous i would go direct port.

Only if you're doing more than a 75 shot is wet the safer route. With dry, you have the fuel pressure safety switch, the fuel pressure regulator which just cuts off the fuel pressure return line so you have the fuel needed, and you don't have to worry about pooling.
Now if you're doing a 100 shot or more, then wet is the way to go to not run LEAN. When I dyno'd my car stock, my EGT showed high 11's past vtec. I think I'm safe with my dry kit and my fuel.
Why would they even sell dry kits if they aren't safe since wet kits do hit harder? I wouldn't say ease of install since its not too much more to hook up.

I bought juice. Im a college student on a budget so I bought a NOS kit new for about 500 dollars. I haven't installed it yet, but if you can beat evo's and sti's for 500 dollars, I'd say its worth it. I've talked to a couple other members running a 75 shot dry and a 80 shot wet. They both said that they beat evo's and sti's with no problems... unless they're like a higher stage turbo. Both people had 0 problems with running the juice. If you don't know what the difference between dry and wet, then search google, theres at least 500000 articles on the age old question of which is better. I chose dry because I don't have to mess with it pooling in my intake and blowing up.
Most people don't like nitrous just because they've seen the fast and the furious and they think it'll blow up. Only if you are an idiot with it, will it happen. Or they don't like it cause they actually have money, so they go FI.

A dry setup is fine for lower HP applications, but is not suitable for anything higher because you can't control how much nitrous enters each cylinder. Want to have one cylinder receiving 75% of a 150hp shot? with the other 25% dispersed over the other cylinders? Additionally the amount of fuel being added is a little more imprecise and crude when being added in a dry setup.
Wet/direct port is a more involved installation process because it may require tapping the manifold in multiple places (though various connectors may be used on existing fittings in some setups), whereas dry can typically be tapped into the intake pipe by anyone at home with a power drill. By directly controlling the amount of nitrous and fuel being injected in each cylinder, you can fairly substantially raise the amount of HP being added.
Though I am disinclined to say either is better for every application, direct is definitely more tunable/reliable at higher HP additions.
I believe there are numerous threads about this already in existence though by the folks who have experimented first-hand.

I've had both adrun nitrous on alot of car. es you cant beat it for the money but it adds up quick. If you are like me then i sparay all of he time. I would go through 2 bottles a week easily. About $30 a bottle and $60 a week and you do the math. You can own a turbo before you know it.
