Wet systems are ALWAYS safer than dry systems. 150 DRY would be disaster most likely. The thing that make NITROUS dangerous is that your adding O2 if you don't add the correct amount of FUEL to go with it, you'll run LEAN and melt things. The WET system introduces more FUEL with the Nitrous shot-MUCH SAFER FOR YOUR ENGINE. Dry shots are for small HP gains (25-75ish) where the stock fuel system can compensate enough for the extra O2 coming in.

You will hear bad things about wet, you will hear bad things about dry. The most important thing is that you set up the system properly, and with the proper safety features (window switch, fuel pressure safety switch, etc).

Give me a call at the shop, and I can go over some options with you.
