I have a 2004 Cavalier coupe.
2.2l ecotec and automatic trans.
all I have is an exhaust. would
you recommend running dry or wet nos,
because i have been told one or the
other by different people.
Sugestions and testimonials
would be greatly appreciated.
It depends on your budget and how big of a shot you want to run.
Wet kits cost more, but you can run a larger shot.
Dry kits are less expensive, but you need to keep it to a smaller shot.
That’s an over simplified answer.
There is a lot more involved in choosing a kit.
If you can tell me what you want to do with your car I can give you a much better answer.

If its worth doing its worth over doing.
I want to run the kind of kit, preferably wet,
where you flip a switch before you start your
run and once you depress the gas pedal
to a certain point the nos just opens up.
my friend has this setup on a 99 Mustang GT
I want the performance and pickup right off the line.
Will a kit like this work on my
2004 2.2l ecotec with a bone stock engine?
All i have is an exhaust.
just to save you some falmeage. NOS is a brand of nitrous it stand for Nitrous Oxide Systems. when refering to nitrous, use nitrous or N20.
anyways, i think your looking for a kit that has a wide open throttle switch to it.
when it really comes down to it, a nitrous kit is a nitrous. you can take your friends kit on his mustang and put it on yours.
look at Gravana tuning, or Highrev sells kits
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
Thanx for the tip, i am really naive when
it comes to terminology.
What size shot of wet would it be safe
to run on a stock engine such as mine.
2004 2.2l ecotec DOHC
Are wide open throttle kits common
among j-body's or "tuners"
And just for good measure is it
better for me to run wet or dry?

I agree.
Based on your questions I suggest you get a dry kit, because there easer to install and maintain.
Wet or dry you want to activate the nitrous, like 99redZ24 said, with a wide open throttle (WOT) switch.

If its worth doing its worth over doing.
What size shot would be good and what
realistically can i expect performance
wise from such a kit?
NX doesn’t recommend exceeding a 75 wet shot on a stock bottom end Ecotec.
Nitrous shot = Horse Power
75 shot nitrous = 75 horse power increase.
140 hp ecotec + 75 shot = 215 hp
Every car is different. No one can tell you exactly what type of gains you going to see.
In the real word there are lots of variables that factor into that equation making it much more complicated. ^That’s broken down into simplest terms.

DISCLAIMER
Don’t forget spark plugs and fuel mods.
Do your home work before spraying.
Don’t blame me if you break something.
Nitrous is for track use only. Don’t use it on the street.
If its worth doing its worth over doing.
Would a 50 shot dry with the WOT suffice for some get up and go in most cases?
Damn --- To answer your questions I would have to recomend a Wet kit -- It is just flat out safer. Most of the newer kits out come with a WOT switch so nitrous turns on only at wide open throttle
I am running a 75 shot in my eco and have not had any real problem yet -- with a 50 shot of course you are going to notice some get up and go --
I have always been told that dry was better but all of you j-body guys say run wet.
Does your 04 cav have a stock engine?
Dry would be better if you have some way to stay at the proper air/fuel ratio. But since nobody runs around with the 50 shot all day long then a wet kit would be best.
