What are the main differnces? I hear wet makes more power but dry is more safe. What would I want for my setup? Mods in sig. Not looking for over a 100 shot. Help me out guys
The difference is the way the nitrous is injected into your system. Dry means before the MAF sensor, wet means after (which means it has to bring it's own fuel into the intake with it, hence the "wet"). Obviously dry is safer for lack of running a fuel line, but wet can handle a higher shot. It's all in the FAQ up top.

In addtion to what SiCK said:
Wet is easier to tune
Dry is simpler on a smaller shot
Myth: Wet make more power.
If a wet hits hard it is because it is more likely tuned correctly. Same amount of N2O=Same HP you are just dependent on delivering fuel via your injectors with a dry.

so, its safer to go with a dry shot if say Im only going to run a 50-100 shot. I dont plan on more than that

Yes as long as your total power output doesn't max out your fuel system.

If you are going to stay at around 50-100 then go dry. Problem is most people like it at 100 and want to pill up. When you pill up on a dry system you are close to maxing out your fuel system and you are expecting the maf do do a lot of compensating to match the right amount of fuel the engine needs.
With that said that is why I always recommend a wet system. You have a lot more control over the tuning of the fuel and the nitrous and IMO it is a safer setup.
