dry or wet? l have a 2002 z06 stock with just a zip tie and k&n filter. i dont know which would work better for me i want to live it stock with just the nitrous thanks for the help. 
if you want to spray a decent size shot with a dry kit (over 100), you will need larger injectors which will also require a PCM tune to the IFR table. Dry has less hardware and is cheaper but you wind up spending more on the injectors/tune.
With up to a 150 shot with a wet kit, you will not need to do any other mods to support it. Both we and dry will need colder spark plugs though.
IMO, I like wet better, but there are plenty of people out there that love dry systems. I say go 150 wet and be done with it.

Really Depends on what your ultimate goals are for the car.. and what kind of a person you are. Meaning are you going to be happy and ok with a roof on your performance or do you want unlimited type performance where as your needs grow so can your jetting.
Dry you're limited to the 100-125 range, generally due to your injectors and fuel pump
Wet over 150 you'll want a high flow fuel pump, but after that you motor allowing you can spray what ever you want and play with your a/f along the way..
Is this just a street play toy, or a weekend warrior..

On my camaro, I started with a dry kit pegging the MAF for fuel, I started at a 100shot and was extremely rich, then went up to a 125, and still in the 10s A/F, then bumped up to a 150shot and was sitting at Low 11's A/F. I ran the 150 for a year, about 18-20 15lb bottles, and had 0 problems on stock injectors with a stock pump. Multiple times(6-8times), when I really needed to win, i ran a 180 shot, and was still in the high 11's A/F. Maybe my camaro was a freak, but thats my experiance.

it came with just about everything, and works MINT!
just food for thought, but i have it, and love it, its a nice addition to the z06, helps us keep up with the new ones. lol
good luck, hope this helps
No matter which system you go with have the airfuel checked.If you go with a wet system you can adjust the airfuel by changing out the fuel jet. If you go with a dry system you will need pcm tunning to cheange the airfuel. If I can help you with any technical help let me know.Im just right down the road from you in Waco.

Really, it's very hard to hurt your motor running a dry hit, actually try to find somone. Many, many are running the dry hits on the Z06's with great results, this is cause the tune is very conducive to the dry hit with stock tune: meaning, comes tuned rich, and about 22/24* of timing. It's a given on your Z06 running a 100rwhp dry hit you'll be quicker than 11.5, seen it many times. Now am I against wet kits, not at all, but from my experiance, dry will have less issues, like, the fuel plunger sswelling issue that is starting to pop up more and more because of the crappy gas additives, and it is only going to get worse. Our PRO dry kit is the premium dry kit on the market, and was speced with the vette in mind. Based on your input yes a dry would be ideal for you, imo. Check out my web site for insight on the Z06 and dry kits, also see the links section for good info. I can link you to the PRO Dry intor thread if you like. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

You will need to remove the screen from your MAF if it has one.
