Loaded question as to the wet or dry question......I like wet shots and have just finished installing a 150 wet kit on a guy's C6, a fellow member here. No fuel pump needed on otherwise stock engine and it runs hard on the squeeze!

Had my tuner install a NOS 150 WET plate system in my 01. Used it for 7 passes last month. 
Could have gone all night 
Ran out of nitrous.
EVERY pass on this cam and bolt-on only A4 car, was 10 and a half seconds.
That's right a cam, all the bolt-ons, and a 150 shot provides mid 10 second passes.
I left a touch on the table since I had the rpm/window switch cutting the nitrous about 200rpm early.
Cannot wait until next weekend when I get to flog her some more.
These LSX engines take alot.

The window switch allows you to preset certain perimeters into the system. On - Off RPM, Multi gear lockout, Dual stages etc. You need to have the car PROPERLY TUNED. As with any power mod, there is the possibility of something breaking.

I'm running a 125 shot with fogger on mine with no issues. I hear 150 shot is as big as you want to go before doing other serious mods.
As long as you do everything right, it should all be good.

Bob is so correct, these motors can handle a lot of hp given a good tune. Bob, if you want to double the runs possible check out the NANO technology. As soon as i get a chance we will be doing a NANO thread with deals on some select kits, though I may wait till after X-mas. anyway, the NANO section of my web site has all kinds of good info on NANO benefits.
Need to raise a few bucks. I'll be sure to give you a call.

Blk Btty C5, when I first got my '97 coupe, i started with a basic dry kit, the NOS 5177. Once I had the base kit we changed up and added on in so many ways. First major change was going to dual stage, but the point is, after getting a basic kit you can always add on and make changes. That is one of the reasons I love nitrous so much, it's always evolving and changing, so for those that like to tinker around there is many things that can be done. Today, from that basic dry kit I am probably close to 10 different dry set-ups on my '97 and Z06 and still have less $$ than a blower or turbo. Still running many of the original parts too and now it's morphed into a 3-stage with a Direct port dry as stage one. I guess what i am saying is, you could do a single stage kit the way you like and be done with it, or the same kit can grow over a period of time as the money allows. I just added a NANO set-up as my last mod a couple weeks ago, so the evolution is still in progress.
