    I understand how it works, wet and dry just wanted 2 see what others think of it.

    gains compared to safety?
    if its even plausible for turbos?
    bang for your buck and so on. . . . .

    It depends on the motor honestly, and how aggressive you get with it. Your reliability will likely take a hit. I guess my first question would be "where are you in your mod path?" If this is a first mod, or you are sitting at stage 2, there are better ways to go about make power than just tossing spray at it.

    E85? I'd imagine you'd need to change the jetting settings for the nitrous. Otherwise I don't see why not try (wet). Let us know how it goes!

    edit: How much boost do you plan to run?

    For your current setup, you could probably find better gains (and better drivability) for less money. How much does the nitrous setup you are looking at cost? somewhere in that 500-1500 range with all the accessories, failsafes, and tune?
