Not true guys!

A return fuel system has nothing to do with a wet or dry kit. The only reason "traditional" dry kits won't work as we don't have a rising rate regulator as standard but that is not the best to do"alone" anyways and that's why electronics utilizing engine load are a better option.

how is a wet kit more safe than a dry kit? wet kits spray fuel and N2O into usually the intake right before the throttle body. This can lead to unequal distribution of fuel and this can lead to engine damage. Dry kits are not supposed to engage until after the correct fuel pressure is reached and this should ensure that each cylinder gets the correct amount of fuel and that it doesn't engage unless there will be sufficient enrichment to the a/f mixture.

Like anything it's about product design and limits.

1) If you have unequal distribution of fuel you either one or all of the following.
a) a poorly atomizing injector(nozzle) that promotes fuel drop-out.
b) if the fuel is distributed badly thenre is a good chance the nitrous is as well which is caused by exceeding the limits of a single point injector or again bad injector design with a narrow spray path when you want to fan out the nitrous.

2) Most dry kits are based on just boosting a regulator and dumping mass fuel into the motor. Not very scientific, consistant, or all that accurate I can assure you. Like anything, something can work but that doesn't make it all that right.

3) Dont think because the fuel is injected via the fuel injectors that you are safe as I mentioned above the nitrous has to be distributed as well. A dry kit will dump an even amount of fuel into all cylinders but what if you get more or less nitrous per cylinder?

Wet kits are not as safe as dry for the future but with current designs dry kits have along way to go before being much better. Would you rely upon your fuel injected motor to be as crude as current dry kits or stick with all the available electronics that measure many factors to run safely!!
