Why the hate on the dry kits? I see this all the time on import boards, and I also used to see wet vs. dry as good vs. bad, but a lot of domestic guys seem to run them with good results and now I see it as a matter of pros and cons for each. Wet kit fuel connections can leak, the fuel solenoid can fail screwing up your AFR- when a dry kit fails, you're running slightly less timing and a richer AFR in your tune, when a wet kit fails you could be running pure fuel and bog out (I saw a pinks episode where a guy lost the semifinals this way), or you could be running pure nitrous and blow up. Wet kits have a much higher chance of nitrous backfires, wet kits require playing with jets and balancing fuel and nitrous through crude means outside your fancy EFI system.
Just a list of potential cons to a wet kit- like I said, there are pros and cons to both, but I don't think you can make a blanket statement "dry is bad wet is good".
