dry makes more power if my memory serves me (mainly because you tend to run leaner)

but yea, wet is safer.

On a 6'r i wouldnt go more then a 100 wet. (get it tuned)

A wet shot hits twice as hard as a dry, along with shows better HP gains. a 75 dry shot only makes about 40-50 more HP, where as a 75 wet shot will make 70hp or more on certain vehicles. Try and stay away from a ZEX kit though since several cars we've dynoed had those kits and didnt make the power they wanted so they went and got a NOS/NX or nitrous works kit and made right at the shot power or more.

Wet is WAAAAAYY better than Dry! lol.

You get more power with a wet kit. If you use a window switch then theres no fuel puddling. If your dry kit doesnt tell the injectors to add more fuel, then your engine blows..... With a wet kit the fuel is always bieng added as long as your solenoids are hooked up correctly. The spray of N20 and fuel mix cleans out your intake after some good sprays...lol. You can run the wet kits progressive, and they look cooler installed under the hood.....Wet kits are also easier to tune since you have a set fuel jetting. With a wet kit you dont have to buy injectors like with a dry kit.

Go with a wet kit.....preferebly NX.

I always heard that wet is harder on the engine, produces more hp, but not as safe...On the other side dry is easier on the engine, but produces less hp, and is pretty safe...

there are pros and cons to each . .

Wet has the chance of puddling in the intake, because your sending a mixture of N20 and fuel into it (boom) however, witha dry kit, your only sending nitrous (not flamable) so there is no chance to blow your intake.

On the other hand you tend to get a better A:F ratio out of a wet kit, because a dry kit relies on your MAF to adjust fuel according to the N20, this doesnt allways work out so well, and you tend to get kinda lean (which is bad). So for a small shot, say 25-50 (75 max) i would say dry. For anything larger, i believe wet is the way to go.

A dry shot can and will pop an intake manifold quick...been there done that with a 75 shot. As far as a wet shot, yea it is a bit more harsh on the engine, but you gotta conserve it and only use it when neccesary. Another thing is be sure you use the proper spark plugs too...colder ones which would be NGK's.
