Im new, so bear w/ me. What makes a no2 kit programmable? What benifits does this have? Should i get the venom 2000 for a 60 shot?

From what I have heard, the Venom kits are a waste of your money. Its a dry kit, but somehow they managed to make it complicated. A dry kit is still limited due to distribution problems with the intake manifold, so even though Venom says you can spray from 1-175shots, its not any safer than a NOS, Zex, or NX dry kit. I have a NOS dry kit right now, running a 60shot, with Zex nitrous plugs, and everything is working great. I did a compression check recently, and got 205-200-203-190, which is pretty good. I wouldnt waste your money on a Venom kit, go with NOS or NX; Zex is good, but you cant replace noids.

i thought i should go w/ a wet kit for a 60 shot. why go dry?

Wet and Dry kits are both limited in the same way, a single fogger tapped into the intake. With a dry kit, you only spray nitrous into the intake. A wet kit sprays nitrous and fuel into the intake, but fuel is heavier, and can puddle in the intake, and can also result in bad distribution of extra fuel to the cylinders. Most people will say go dry if you are gonna spray 75shot or less, more than that, look into going direct port. Dry kits work very well, trust me, why else would so many people run them?

how much $$$$ does it cost to install a typical dry kit?

Most people are doing the install themselves, but if you dont have the tools, and have no idea on how to install one, it might be worth it to pay for the install. Most shops will install the kit for around $200.
