Your CAR could Handel a 150 Wet right out of the BOX. with No problems And No MOD needed.. The Dry i would have to say around 75-100 all cars handel Dry shots differ when stock and Not TUNED.. WET allways seems the LESS hassel of the 2.From what i have came apon

100 dry shot is very safe.

if you got any larger than 100 dry, you'll need bigger injectors

if you go wet, 150 and you'll be fine...should consider a larger fuel pump to be extra safe, but its your call

50 is more than safe. Like said, 150 wet can be handled stock. Do a search on this, it has been beaten to death here, you will find tons on valuable info in this forum on anything nitrous related. My suggestion for a near stock LS1 wanting to run nitrous: 150 wet shot, NGK TR6 plugs gapped around.038, high flow fuel pump, window switch, and a FPSS for added protection. A combo like this will be completely safe.

I would do the wet over dry for the hassle reason alone.
