    Not to diss you in any way, but Nitrous isn't a plug and play product to add to your car. There are serious pros and cons to any system.

    Research things a little more (then again that is probably why you asked).

    I am currently reading a book called Sport compact nitrous injection. I would recommend it to anyone looking to add Nitrous to their car. It covers the major systems (zex, nos, venom, nitrous works, nx). It will also let you know what is safe and how to calculate the proper amount you can squeeze.
    The most basic nitrous systems would be either the zex or the venom (as both are computer controlled). That way you have some type of back-up to shut it down if you get to trigger happy.

    A wet system I believe atomizes the fuel and nitrous for you already right before it enters the throttle body/intake manifold. You can pretty much run nitrous on your stock intake if you'd like, but the CAI certainly won't hurt.

    You're not flying solo, you're with TGC I didn't have anyone else to work with except TGC, and the amazing techs that work on my car that figure everything out by themselves.

    I bet they do...that'll be my next read. I bought the Nitrous one along with a Chiltons and some mags...I figured that was enough for one trip.

    I think I saw a comprehensive turbocharger theory book on Amazon.com before.

    ok, the difference between a wet and dry system is this. a dry system only sprays nitrous. so, you better either have upgraded fuel injectors, or stock ones that can keep up with a smaller shot. most of your plug and play kits are dry shots. zex has a pretty cool backpressure trick that ramps up the pressure on your stock injectore to force just a little more fuel into your mix. a wet system will actually spray fuel along with your nitrous. for obvious reasons (knock/ping/detonation) the wet system, though more expensive and complicated, is definately safer in the long run for your engine.

    another thing your almost certainly going to want to do if you looking into nitrous is research some colder plugs for your galant. the platinum ones that come with the galant run a bit hot, and may cause pre-ignition (detonation). so, thats not everything there is to know, just a bit of knowledge to arm yourself with before spraying the galant. good luck, my freind. 8)
