RE: zex dry kit
Im not an expert by any means, but why go dry? To get more out of your stang, and do it safely, your still going to need to provide more fuel for your new found power. So did you upgrade your fuel pump? Did you look into possibly needing bigger injectors (not sure if you would). Just by reading about the wet kits on the zex website, the benefits are better and it doesn't take all that much more to install a wet kit over a dry kit.
If I were you, I would call a zex representative and see if you can a) return your kit and exchange for a wet one, or b) upgrade some parts and make your dry into a wet.
without the extra fuel a wet kit provides, you are running a bigger chance of detonation and cracking your plastic intake manifold. But if you already have a different solution for delivering more fuel, or you are really limiting your shots (then why bother to beggin with), you should be safe to a certain degree.

RE: zex dry kit
I believe you run the bigger risk of blowing the intake with a WET kit.
The reason for this is that fuel is mixed in with the nitrous in the intake passages, and if a backfire does occur it ignites the fuel all the way up through the intake and pops it.
Otherwise, all you have in the intake is N20 and thats not flammable by itself.

yes the only way to have a nitrous backfire is with a wet kit. HOWEVER, is dry safer? no. dry kit relies on your engine sensors noticing the extra oxygen in the cylinders and adding the proper amount of fuel. if it doesnt add enough fuel you run lean and run the risk of blowing your motor. wet kit eliminates this. is there a risk of backfire...yes. but backfires are not a common occurance, and i would rather backfire and blow a 200$ intake manifold than run lean and blow a 2000$ motor.
