Wont work on yours- you need a wet kit- dry only works on 95's.

Wont work but a hell of a deal.

Will dry work with 96s???? Im seriously lookin into this kit.

Some VERY EARLY 96's can, but I haven't seen many. Check to see where your fuel filter is, if it is under the car by the passenger side rear wheel you can't use it, if it is under the hood you can, simple as that :)

Oh man I was looking into that deal also. All there kits there are dry I tried and tried to find the wet system, I must have kept the poor women I was talking to on the phone for about 30 min(for 375 shipped thats a hella of a deal). So they said they would see if they could special order it for me and give it to me for the same price, but so far the lady has not called me back.:-(

Crap. My filter is behind the rear passenger side tire. So, what kits will work for the late 96s? Can I just use the dry kit and spray into the intake tube? Thanx

nope, you will blow the engine. You have to use the wet kit to have enough fuel.

Okay, thanx. U know where I can get a good deal on a wet kit? Just a simple 75hp setup.

NOS wet kit part # is 5208, not sure about NX. NOS kit comes with 50 shot jets (I think the NX kit does too), you can get different jets from Jeg's pretty cheap.
Just remember a 75 shot is the highest you can go on stock internals and I would be sure your car is in perfect running order before using that high of shot.

The wet kit just sprays into the intake, right??

Yes, so does a dry kit. The only difference is wet sprays fuel and nitrous, and dry sprays only nitrous.
