Question Zex nitrous kit?

I have a 94 civic cx with a jdm b16a swapped in it. I am planning to purchase a nitrous kit for it, I have heard among other racers that zex is the best system to use. My question is if i do purchase a zex kit or any other kit, should i use a wet or dry system? I am planning on using a 75 hp shot with a stock fuel system. Which kit would be safer?

WET Always is safer. ZEX kit sounds like a great way to go for you because it uses a fuel management system which makes it hard to blow up your motor.

Wet isn't always safer, heard of fuel puddling?

what effect does fuel puddleing have on the motor? does it blow the intake off?
I have ordered a wet kit as of today, any suggestions on where i could mount the nozzle to prevent fuel puddleing?

well after all the research I did on them, its less of a problem then blowing your motor.

I am going to assume fuel puddling is when fuel collects in the intake and causes a FIRE Back which is where it ignites it.

This is obviously something that can happen but I have never seen in all the times I sprayed on my Si.

A wet kit is safer for your motor then a dry shot.
