what in the flying hell is the difference???

I think the differnence is a dry kit injects the nitrous into the intake stream, the wet kit injects the nitrous into the fuel stream allowing for better amotization. I THINK? I would see all the advantages of a wet kit supercede those of the dry kit which is just cheaper. I THINK? Don't rely on this info.

lol...none of this stuff will "fuck shit up" if used properly.
A dry kit is one that injects nitrous alone and either spikes the fuel pressure ( by way of the FPR) to jack up injector output to compensate for additional fuel needs... or as in the case of LS1s and a very few other cars...sprays the MAF and lets the MAF sense the additional flow...thereby having the computer lengthen the injector pulse to compensate for additional fuel required.
A wet kit has nitrous and fuel being sprayed through a fogger nozzle or spray bar at the same time. The high pressure nitrous path is crossed into the fuel path as they come out of the nozzle to help atomize the fuel. I personally like TNT's wet nozzles. Very neat.
A direct port is one that has a nozzle placed in the intake tract just before the intake ports. This does several things.
*ensures good distribution to each cylinder
*lowers the likely hood of nitrous backfire
*can create more power since the nitrous going into the chamber is more dense (not yet fully expanded to gas state)
Lately...ther has been a trend towards "dry" direct port kits using aftermarket engine management systems such as the Accel Gen 7 DFI. It allows for two stages of direct port dry nitrous control. It will add fuel via the injectors when each stage is activated.
This is how i want to go. Nothing atomizes fuel like an injector.
