Wet kits generally put down more actual power than dry kits per rated shot. In fact, many of the wet kits will meet or exceed 100 rwhp with a 100 shot. This one of the reasons why the majority or "serious" applications use wet.
I agree in part with your statement about needing all the safety equipment. BUT, every system has it's risks and inherant problems. One of the setbacks with dry systems is that it is impossible to know what is happening at each injector. You might have an good overall a/f, but be running very lean in one cyclinder, for example.
Also, to me knowledge, blown intakes are a problem with wet systems and not dry systems. This happens from the pooling of fuel caused when the ignition shuts down and then restarts (hitting rev limieter for example w/o a window swicth or with a window switch that failed). I can't see how this would ever happen with a dry shot.
I certainly agree that as you increase shot, the risk of failure increases. An 80 shot I believe is a good safe place to operate.
Don't forget that despite all the safety devices, they also can fail. A big downside of dry systems is what happens when the solenoid fails to close when you are done spraying. Solenoids do stick. If this ocurrs, the motor is most likely toast.
