Need some advise on NOS systems
I've got a ZX14 that's been stretched and lowered and now I want to put nitrous on it. This bike will be pretty much just for the drag strip. What I want to know from the experienced NOS members is; should I go with a dry shot or wet, and why?? I'd like to get more than 50hp from the nitrous, just don't know how the bike will handle it. Also, which kit is your favorite, NX, NOS, or ??
How many passes can I get from a 1lb, 2lb, 5lb bottle if I hit the button in 2nd through fourth on a 9.00 pass???
Any mods I should do too the bike before I dump copious amounts of NOS into it?? Thanks

I like dry much better than wet.
Dry will not kill your motor because the nitrous fuel pump died.
Dry will not overload and really kill your pass because the bottle pressure dropped.
Dry is so much easier to install that it's almost not a install.
No big nitrous explosions.
Changing jets is much easier.
Especially if you have a strip bike you can map for the nitrous
and not worry .
Wet was the ticket for big spray, but I don't know how big you can go with stock pistons.
Also some are spraying big with dry.

Thanks, so who makes the best kit, and how big a bottle should I go with?? I'm planning on mounting it in front of the back tire since I stretched it 8" further back, got plenty of room.

Go dry for your application and don't get greedy.
There's not much meat between the valve pocket and the top ring on the exhaust side.

My experience NOS will do very well, especially will light load.
NX is heavy duty but I don't see the need.
I like a 2 or 2 1/2 lb bottle if you are not hidding it.
Why keep changing bottles if you don't have to.
One of the best advantages of DRY is that you can keep playing
with low bottle pressure, not full power but it's still there where wet will
hurt you bad with low bottle presure. The line on where you want to stop spraying is
blurred with dry. When the bottle get low it's less power but you can spray sooner.

ET racing still requires a stable bottle pressure.

I'm confused. Why is the NOS system good for light load??
Why is the NX system heavy duty??
