Default Question about Wet Nitrous Kit

I have been looking on craigslist in my area for a while. I finally have run into someone selling a Zex nitrous wet kit. Just curious on how this should be set up for my 86 L98 or if I should just go ahead and get a dry kit instead.

I've heard wet involves much less risk. Any detonation with a 100hp dry shot could hurt the engine

Thats what I have heard. Now I am just trying to find someone here in town that will install it. As far as motor quality, for an 86 it is nearly brand new in terms of yearly miles when I bought it (79k) so the last thing I want to do is snap a rod or blow my heads.

Blowing heads is cheap to fix. Messing up a piston with ring land failure is costly. Having my budget blown up has made me much less aggressive with my future goals. :o
