Wet is safer, but dry is easier to install I think.

Wet injects nitrous and fuel.

Dry just injects nitrous.

That being said, if you can't figure out which one is safer and which one is easier to install, you don't need to be working on your car.

Here's a lil Nitrous 101 for you to read up on...

Nitrous 101

You can also try checking out NOS, NX and Zex websites, I'm sure they have plenty of info if that wasn't enough for you. Then there's my favorite website... HowStuffWorks.com.

as far as installation goes, a wet kit is barely harder than a dry kit. when choosing which setup to use, i wouldnt factor in ease of installation. theyre both easy.

well, with a wet kit, you are injecting the fuel and the nitrous at the same time. so you will have an upgraded fuel system, which will make it safer.

dry is just spraying nitrous alone, so if you have an older car or your stock fuel system just sucks, you risk the chance of running lean and blowing up.

both are easy as hell to install, but wet would be the safer of the two.

direct port>wet>dry

^^and the prices go along with that figure too, with DP being the most expensive

yeah some people get nervous when they read "splice the fuel line" and think the install is going to be something intensive i think

As far as this website is concerned, splicing the fuel line is very 'intensive'.
