Ok I am only 14 and not 110 percent sure but Iv been around car alot and I think a wet kit injects the nitros right into the cylinders and a dry kit injects it into the Throtle body. I would go with dry kit less likely to blow it up.

Wrong, wet kits mix nitrous with fuel and spray it into the intake, dry kits just spray nitrous.

Wet kits add the fuel and nitrous through their own seperate jets, while dry kits add nitrous through a jet and fuel by raising the fuel pressure (a lot).

Wet is more expensive than dry but at the same time there are things that could go wrong with both.

The reson people do not like dry kits is the fact that any person can throw a 200 shot of nitrous squeezed in teh motor and if you do not have the fuel to support it than there gos your motor.

People feel wets are better because it also takes strain off of your injectors because its spraying with seprate fuel solenoids.

Negative of wet sytems is fuel pooling in the intake which could explode and cause a nitrous back fire and they are a little more costly than dry kits and a little harder to hook up.

Kits are not always sparyed into the throttle body or intake either. You can get wet kits that are direct port systems which are a little pricy but very safe.

Hope this helps a little
