A wet shot it when the nitrous mixes with gas, and the dry is just plain nitrous.. As for which one is better it depends on what shot your running

A dry shot doesn't not have an additional solenoid to add extra fuel into the system. A Dry shot ups the vacuum to the FPR and increases fuel through the injectors.

A wet shot comes with an additional solenoid that you have to plum with fuel and it is sprayed through you intake right where you spray your nitrous.

it seems that everyone has a different idea on why dry or wet is better. If you ask me it's personall preference. A dry shot with a good tune on the engine will produce just as much power and do it safely.

I know a lot of people don't like the idea of atomized fuel in their intake which I can also understand. I run a 125 shot of Dry nitrous it's a N.O.S kit.

Exactly^^^^^

Also, a wet kit takes the fuel from a fuel line at the Schrader valve and plumbs that to the fuel solenoid. I run a wet kit and have been happy w/ it.

yup personal preferance to a point

guys switch from either way sometimes.

i like dry cuz i never squirt more than 100, so it's a quicker install , and all i need.

a lot of wet guys claim wet is more consistent, but comparing equal size jetings, i have yet to see it.

i prefer the idea of my combustant being introduced at the point it should explode, not before it and hope that it doesn't , but thats just me

butthere are some wet kits that introduce the fuel the "right" way, a nozzle before the upper or a plate b4 the upper are really the same thing, but some wet kits have a plate between the upper and lower , this is a good way to spray wet and be safe. also if it is direct port, 1 nozzle for each cylinder (they are hi $$$)
