upgrade it to a wet systen would be a start. Unless your car had honda emblems then id leave it dry and up the shot to 300

A dry shot will be fine. Just won't really hit as hard. Change your plugs to a step colder plug, non platnuim, and gap them at about .035 and set the timing at about 10 degrees or so. Would recommend a bigger in tank fuel pump. Everything should be good to go then. What kit are you using? Does it have some sort of regulator that will increase fuel pressure when you use the nitrous?
what type of motor are you putting this on. A 5.0 or a mod motor?
If your putting it on your 99 that uses a return less style fuel system and you really have no mechanical control over the fuel pressure nor any control over the timing.

Why are you guys so stuck on needing a fuel solenoid. Yes I agree with you wet is better but I ran a 150 dry shot back in the day on my 97 cobra full interior with gears, intake, throttle body, and exhaust and went 7.60's in the 1/8th. I went through a bottle a weekend on that set up for about a year with no problems. So what's wrong with a dry shot?

Just because they work doesnt make them good....

A wet shot you can tune your Nitrous and fuel your putting into the engine specifically .. a dry shot your relying on your car to make up for .... you have alot better odds of NUKING YOUR SHIT. Dry shots are for ricer garbage

because if you want to cram a shitload of extra oxygen in your cylinder, it is nice to know there is fuel there to burn it.

Ok totally agree with you on the tuning issue. But as NUKING your shit I don't believe in that for a small 125 shot. Like I said I ran a 150 shot and even pushed it to 175 on dry with absoulitly NO problems!
