do yo uknow the difference?

wet kit goes through the fuel, dry is just a nozzel in the intake tube or intake manifold.

dry kits are cheaper

When using a wet kit the fuel acts as a buffer to keep you from melting parts. Also it will make more power, because as you stuff more air (n2o) into the engine it will require more fuel to use the extra air charge. Wet kits require more money, tuning and more part installation to run good, but it is well worth it in the end. Common misconception that perhaps you already know, N2O is not a fuel, its basically pressurized air.

i dont know which zex kit ur talking about getting but i have heard of problems with the computerized units. From what i ahve heard when it sprays N2o it leans out well the computer sees that its going lean and cuts the nitrous (like its supposed to) well when it richens up it sprays again. Well now ur constanly sprayin and not spraying.

I would suggest not getting the computerized version.
