NOS is to Nitrous as Kleenex is to Facial Tissue. People have issues with you calling it NOS. Anyway...

150 wet is no problem with all the safety equp. Window switch, WOT, etc. People blow their motors spraying at too low of RPM. You should be 3000+. or going lean. Not enough fuel. If you are not going to upgrade your fuel system. I would stay around 125 for good measure.

window switch sprays the nitrous within an RPM range. Coupled with a WOT switch, when you turn on your nitrous, then floor it, it will spray throughout whatever RPM range you set in the window switch.
Fuel upgrades mean bigger injectors and fuel pump.
You should contact a sponsor and get all the info from them, they can hook you up with what you need.

On my set-up I have a window switch 3200rpms and 6000rpms. This means at wide open trottle you start spraying at 3200 and pulls the spray out at 6000 automatically. That way I don`t spray threw shifts and hurt tranny. Upgrade fuel system just to be safe and get a good tune. Its like insurance, well worth it I promise. I love it! Check Sig!

I put a TNT wet kit on my car when it had 1k miles on it.The 100shot gave me 140rwhp.I went through 15 bottles in the summer and never a problem except a blown clutch.

I have 135k on my motor in the vette and I've been running a 150 shot for about 10 bottles now. It's all good as long as you do it right. Get a system not a kit. I.E. heater, purge, fuel shutoff, right plugs, maybe fuel pump, etc.

Turbo and S/C guys do not cut off the forced induction through shifts, why should I?

If you are not going yo beef up the tranny it is a good idea.
