    I'm really considering Zex after my cam is installed. I really like the system they use, and i don't plan on running any higher than a 55 shot. I hope it will be well worth it, however I'm undecided on whtehr to get the dry or wet kit. I used to hear all around that the dry kit is safer, but once i got on this board, everyone says the wet kit is safer. I wanna be as safe as can be, so what do u guys say?

    sounds good to me. Anything that i need to significantly upgrade while running the dry kit? Would the Zex spark plugs come to good use?

    get two steps colder plugs, or the ZEX ones... and you have to retard the timing just a bit

    You might also consider upgrading you ignition slightly like an accel coil or something.

    Get a wet kit, this will ensure proper fuel delivery and not overstress your stock "old" injectors.
    -Get the highest octane available for fuel.
    -Get one step colder plugs. NGK regular plugs, not platinum or irridium. Two step colder is not necessary.
    -One degree retard will do it. 2 degrees is an overkill and will significantly loose power on N/A driving.

    This set up should be fine all the way to 55-60 shot.

    Remeber, all your precautionary measures must be taken in consideration, such as I/H/E and ignition before nitrous is considered.

    Like i've said before, check my site for more details and info.

    Not if its a dry kit.
    Carbs have to run wet only.
