You're safer because you have pretty much zero chance of fuel puddling in your maifold and blowing your hood off and burning your car down with a dry shot.
You're not safer because if you over do the shot (something that almost certainly IS NOT gonna happen at 100 or 125 hp levels) you could run lean and damage your motor).

i look at it this way , when the oxygen sensors send signal to computer to ritchin the mixture you already have a lean condition in the cylinders. wet kit use rpm window switch and tps switch and there will be no puddling.

I would go with the NOS 5177 Kit. comes with a 15lb bottle, fuel pressure safety switch, wot switch, 2 foggers, and everything else you need. Its a good kit and its only 550 bucks
I like the dry kits for anything up to a 125 shot. For a dry kit to fail your MAF would have to fail which i dont think will happen anytime soon

I wouldnt recommend going with a smaller bottle since a 100 shot takes alot of nitrous and you dont want to be filling up all the time.
