Lightbulb becareful.

the only problem with nos is the solinoid duty cycle if you use it too much the solinoids over heat and fry the coil and they are expensive to replace . they are meant for a 14 second burst with a 15-30 minute cool down its mainly the gas valve which overheats as it has too control 800-900 psi.
I have had the problem where i was at a test&tune and not many people were there it was early but i did 3 back to back runs and could not put my hand on the gas valve it was so hot.
As far as dry v wet in smaller hp application not much differance dry is much easier to install .
Just be sure your fuel system is in top shape filters and pump. and follow the instuctions to the letter. and get you fuel mixtures verified on a dyno to be safe.
it sure is fun to let it rip but at $18-20 a kg you will find your self looking for extra cash to keep it full.
