Nitrous for a 2004 V6

What units are easier to install, a wet or dry?

What units are recommended?

Thanks,
Nick

Dry for sure, but that is beside the point. If you go beyond a
certain point of amount of nitrous injected, then you have to run a wet
kit or run the risk of running lean. I somewhat doubt that you would
want to run so much nitrous on a stock V6 block that you need a wet kit,
it could be, shall we say, devastating.

Sounds really great John. What brand/Unit is it? Thanks, Nick

I'm running the Zex kit... it's labeled as for the GT but works
perfectly in the V6...

The problem *I* always had with the average wet kit is the injection
of fuel into the upper intake plenum where it does not belong.

Yep, I undestand that... I've seen all the videos of guy experiencing
the dreaded Nitrous Backfire Syndrome.... I watch them very closely...
Typical thing I notice is:

1) They are manual trannys. I have an automatic which in general I
believe is safer. On a manual you run the risk of bogging the motor
(good reason to put in a window switch!) You can't bog an automatic.

2) Perhaps not WOT. The 05+ are of course fly by wire. My Zex kit has
an electronic TPS switch that hooks to the cars TPS... So I know I only
spray at WOT... (which BTW is at 82% of the pedal travel... ??? LOL)

So while my stomach turns watching those backfires.... I do feel pretty
confident in my setup... So far so good! Knock on wood!

Wrong. Try a big motor with lotsa torque and a low RPM stall. Those bog
horribly unless you have the idle turned WAY up. I know 'cuz I have that
problem currently. 400 CID stroker Windsor with a stock 1000 rpm stall and
3.70's in the rear. This thing SUCKS when it's cold out or if I haven't
worked out my right leg lately to try and hold down the break pedal at
stoplights. I need at LEAST a 2000 rpm stall.

Bone stock FMX. It's right around 1000 rpm stall. My next move is to put in
a 2-2.5k stall with a shift kit and all new seals.
