do some research man. lots of these people say run a wet shot no matter what. if you really look it up and ask shops that have done it to tons of cars they will tell you that a 75 dry shot is just fine. and you can do it on stock motor. put 93 gas in and dont spray at low RPM. wet shot gives you a better spray that you need if you were doing like a 125+ shot. anything lower a dry shot can do just fine if its all installed correct. i talked with nitrousbob ALOT about this back in the day. and hes done it on his past 4 cars if im not mistaken. if your goal is to do 75 and stop there dry is ALOT more simple and worry free then wet. nitrous alone cant blow up. nitrous mixed with gas can...so tell me how a dry shot is less safe?

wet vs. dry is like 3.73's vs 4.10's. Everyone has their own opinions. I will say this with a wet kit, the added fuel is supplied from the fuel rail, not the injector. So on a 100 shot, the stock injector is fine and the STOCK tune should do just fine. On a dry kit, you'll need to change injectors and the tune.

AS for blowing the intake on a dry shot... a wet kit is where this risk comes in. If you spray at too low of an RPM you take a chance of the added fuel puddling and later igniting. As long as you have the proper safety equipment and use a little common sense you should be fine.

I sprayed a 100 shot (wet) for over 5 years untuned and on stock injectors, with no issues.

Got some answers from u guys, but they didnt hit the bullseye! To better phrase my ? How much HP can stock injectors support? I only ask because i thought that if my injectors pegg and i start running lean bad things happen.
