First of all with the VCN 1000 and 75shot you dont really need a tune, though it is ALWAYS! good to have and its the best way to extract power out of your car! BTW ive owned my Venom kit since "2000" and the car is running stronger then ever!

Second i have to agree on the fact that dry is safer then a wet kit! i havent seen an actual survey on this but most likely if an engine or intake was blown on a car it was from someone using a wet kit!! Now ill agree that most likely it was driver error! but that is that narrow margin of error you have with the wet kit!

Third i dont know where the assumption comes that dry makes more power then wet and i cant speak for the ZEX kit (some one said previously that you might get 35hp out of a 75 shot but that aint the case with the VENOM! cause my GT is just a bolt on GT nothing done to the internals Heads, cams etc; basic bolt ons! and i put out just as much power on avery safe tune!! as the guys braggin about there wet kits!

There are a lot people that get on the NX band wagon and wana tell you that its the best! dont get me wrong its a gvery good kit but to bash on other products by some word of mouth is just silly! I own both kits My 99GT has had the VENOM kit for 6 years or so! I have an 01 Roush with the NX kit also!
Now is the NX capable of higher HP levels Hell yeah it is! You can go as high as a 250 shot if your bottom end is built for it but when your talkin about 50-70-100-125shot for the street iam here to tell you the Dry kit is fully capable.
I look at peoples dyno #s and track #s with the same typical bolt ons and same shot of nitrous and there aint much difference! trust me unless there car is built up!

I trully believe that most nitrous systems with a good supporting fuel system and a REAL good tune will give you the results you want DRY or WET for the street.

id go with the NX and never look back....theres really not any reason not to. Just throw in a window switch and youll have no problems. Plus, youll actually be able to find parts for it if something needs replacing. You can just go to the speed shop and NX parts are in stock, whereas Venom parts are expensive and have to be ordered from Venom.

You think you need an ! at the end of every sentence?

An NX kit will make more power then your Venom kit.

I apologize for my punctuation didnt know the grammar police was out. I was just trying to give my input like everyone else. Your probably correct on the power that NX may produce under certain circumstances, but like i said before! for street and strip use and a car that wont see more then 125 shot there isnt much difference.

My car has bolt ons listed in my sig.
It put down 367rwhp and 471rwtq w/100 shot dry.
Has run 12.65s @ 109 (not corrected) at an altitude of over 4800ft.
so the dry shot cant be that bad!
Another thing iam not advertising for Venom iam just use the product and was giving my input.I get nothing out of this! i just read the post and give my honest opinion. Iam not here to brag for Venom or sell there product iam just saying how it had worked for me!
