has to be wet because your car is carburated.

nitrous kits fromce more oxygen into the combustion chamber. therfore you have to add more gas as well.

on a fuel injected engine, the computer will compensate for the excess oxygen and squirt more gas in through the injectors.

on a carburated car, the carburator cannot be adjusted on the fly, so you have to admore gas through the nitrous system.

incidentally, if you do'nt add enough gas to go with the nitrous, you will blow up your motor.

As long as it comes with a plate and all the other stuff get it. The plate is just a square with a rod through it that goes inbetween your intake manfiold and your carb, incase you didn't know.

Not necessarily... the plate has to match the shape and bolt pattern of the carb. Your standard nitrous plate won't fit on a 12A car unless you're running a Holley carb...

you can't buy the kit until you spell naws right.

Toyota Solara? That's fuel injected!

I'd steer off that path and aim for a carburated NOS kit.

you could always drill holes in your intake manifold and plumb the nitrous and fule jets in directly...

nnaaaawwwwwsssssss!!!

Also, a dry kit is only good up to about 75 HP before your injectors can't keep up...100 and up demands a dedicated fuel solenoid...
