Id say a wet 50 shot fogger setup. Its way easier to install then direct port, and almost as safe. You should make about 30whp more with that.

why dont u get a wet kit from NX.. cause the 35 shot from NX will give you the same horsepower as a 50 shot from NOS.. cause NX rates to the wheels... i just read an article in that new mag, Project Car.. and they did a 50 shot wet on a 95 with the SOHC, and with the 50 shot they got 33 HP to the wheels outta it... im going to be getting a NX kit sometime this winter..just my .02

yes dominic knows the power of the nitrous on the D.  lol. Im running a dry 55 shot, and I've had no problems whatsoever. very easy install took maybe 2 hours. directions are very straight forward. the 1st pull on nitrous is a very exciting... and somewhat nervous experience.

well do what you think is best man. I kinda wish I had a wetshot, but Im content with the dry kit. With the price my friend was sellin it for I just couldnt pass it up. I dont plan on going above 65shot. whatever you do im sure you'll be happy

wet kit..NOS or NX
NOS isnt overrated..there is a reason why they have been around the longest..
NX kits are based on the NOS kits..they do have better silinoids though.

very true
My NOS solenoids have been good to me..i bought the plate system used when i switch from dry to direct. The dry kit had the smaller solenoids, which one did go bad. My system now has the fatter ones which has been good for a few years now.
