Default Dry or Wet NOS system?

My 93 Needs more power. I have found several different wet/dry sytems. I have a GNX fuel pump intank from the GNX Turbo regals, not the GN, but the more powerful GNX.
I have 30 # injectors, a 396 LT1 and Speed Density.
What should I get. Everyone has preferences, but what in your experiences, and searches, has been the best way to go. I am looking at 125 hp shot max.

I like NX. I have used NOS, NX, and venom. and NX is in my opinion the best quality and designed nitrous system on the market.

A simple single stage universal wet kit will no doubt satisfy your need.

I am still a die-hard NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) fan. their kit # 5174 looks good and installs cleanly. I jetted to 125hp.

I had a NOS dry but quite honestly it did not work on my 93 speed density. I now have a wet throttle body TNT system. It works great.
