nitrous help?

this guy at my job said that i should get a dry kit that activates as soon as i hit the gas it activates because if i got a wet kit that i would have to drill holes in my manifold. Is he right or what should i get, i need some help thank you.

He's associating a wet kit with direct port, thats false. A wet kit hooks up the same way as a dry kit

wet kit. zex, nitroustune (not sure of the name), and a few are good reccomendations. you'l deff need a window switch, TPS and a bottle heater. don't push anything more than a 75shot unless you plan on doing supporting mods for it. PM if you got any specific questions i can help you with. GL

Oh direct port is more expensive, but also a little safer....

I find having a switch makes it nice for me, as I can control it exactly how I want to. I don't spray in first, or usually in fourth, so i would have to still turn on the activation switch while trying to shift, then shut it back off while shifting out of 3rd. Also, I like being able to hang on to the bottle a little longer if needed, like when racing an Evo with cams or something else with decent power. I need all I can get to beat some of the cars I run.

Window switch is really sweet though, have one wired up on dad's truck, its the Holley one designed for ETC cars, it does WOT and window functions, is totally user adjustable, and works great. I love it, super simple to use, just flip the switch on the dash and you got extra power when you want it, and I can lower the engagement point for track days to help out with the launching.

Don't make blanket statements like that based on your opinion, or if you are going to, state it as such.

Excuse me, personally I don't like the idea of spraying yourself as I feel electronics can be much more accurate. If I was going to do it I'd use a window switch.
