Default Difference between wet and dry shot???

I think that I know what the difference between a wet and a dry shot of nitrous oxide is, but I would like to make sure. So hit me with some explanations please. Thanks.

I think a dry kit just puts NO2 through the intake and a wet kit puts NO2 and fuel. I'm not sure either.

A wet kit sprays both nitrous and fuel into the intake manifold, and a dry kit spray nitrous through the maf, and the maf makes the car match the necessary amount of fuel. The downsides are that in a wet kit, fuel can puddle in the intake and cause the intake to explode, and a dry kit puts extra pressure on your fuel injectors and your fuel pump and they may not be able to flow enough fuel. This would cuase you to be lean and your engine would blow. I have been researching this and think that I will be running a dry kit, 100 shot and replace my fuel injectors with larger ones. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

The middle ground would be the Venom system, which is a dry kit, but pulses your injectors for more fuel.
