I seen both kits recently at the dyno. Both were on a C4. The wet kit was on another 87 TPI, while the dry kit was on a 95 LT1. The dry kit seemed to work much better than the wet kit. The guy with the wet kit ran WAAAAY rich when he hit the kit. (It's a 100hp kit, and he only got 50hp out of it.) But also, he had JUST got it on, and hadn't really got a chance to change out the jets. But which should I run? Wet or dry? I would think with the dry kit, when the computer sensed the NOS, it would compensate and add more fuel. Right? Whereas the wet kit, would be adding TOO much fuel, and you would just have to have the fuel solenoid jet REALLY lean. Either way, I seen the switch I'm gonna get for it. :D along with a window switch (2500rpm/5000rpm)

I like the wet kit for safety. I've seen a dry nitrous system on a C5 that had the nozzle after the MAF. Luckily he never used it yet.
The issue I see with a dry kit is if the computer did not compensate enough for the nitrous. You could run into a detenation problem and have to rebuild your motor.
On a wet system, with the proper jets in place, will perform just fine. I'm guessing the guy had the right jets in the wrong nozzles OR the wrong fuel jet for the selected nitrous jet.

I dunno about an L98, but on my LS1 I think a dry kit is safer. There is 1/2 of the wiring, 1/2 the solenoids, etc...
With a wet kit, what if the fuel noid sticks closed? On a dry kit if the noid sticks, you just don't get the shot. Frustrating, but ultimately not a big deal. On a wet kit you have twice the components to worry about. Dry, IMO, is the way to go.
I guess if you can't make a dry kit work on an L98 it's kind of a moot point though isn't it.
BTW I loved my dry kit. I gained .8 and 8 mph sparying from second gear on with a 100 shot. :D
