most of the lighning guys that run nitrous use a wet kit. the only advantage i know of using a dry kit over a wet kit is fuel puddling up in the intake. but i have been told that with our engines we dont have to worry about that. i think if you asked all the tuners they would say go wet. its just safer. i also think that you get more power with a wet kit. i.e. when your setup for a 50 shot, you may get 45hp with a dry and 60 with a wet, i think.

Go with a wet kit. Call sal at PSP. He seems to be the king at NOS tuning.

I have heard the wet route is better also. That way you don't have the worry of the computer not sending the extra gas since it's sprayed too. Also, if you add mods that get to a certasin HP range the stock injectors can not provide the needed amount of gas.

Cool

I too perfer the wet kit from NX. Just because I have never used the dry type I guess. However, if you can get a good deal on the dry go for it. Wet or Dry, be sure to invest the extra $35 and wire in a fuel pressure safety swich, which will insure that you get the needed fuel along with the N2O and your motor don't BLOW! $35 vs $3700 for a replacement long block plus labor, cheap insurance.
