A dry nitrous system is the cheapest and easiest. We installed a dry system on our Buell and so far have have good luck with it. A wet system will produce more power but is a lot more involved to install.

Be careful with it, it can be an expensive mistake.

If you want to do it properly, you should also change your head studs, pistons and rods. Nitrous can easily melt your stock pistons if you give it too much.

I'm not disputing that. Stock parts can last forever with nitrous.....until you crank it up. Try a 200 shot spray of nitrous, then check those plugs.
