Default How does Nitrous work?

Can someone please explain with as much detail as possible on how nitrous works and the difference of the 3 setups, dry, wet, direct port.

dry is just nitrous injected
wet is nitrous and fuel injected
direct port is nitrous and fuel into each cylinder indivually
fogger is a nozzle in the intake hose

n20 breaks down and the oxygen goes into the combustion chanber which allows more fuel to be burned with the extra oxygen and therefore making more horsepower
the N chills the intake charge greatly making the air colder and cold air is more dense than hot air therefore carrying more oxygen and again allowing for more fuel to be burning in the combustion chamber

this is it more or less and someone correct me if i am wrong

anyone know about a universal fogger system for a V6? i'm looking at geting one someday, just like a 60-75 shot. I can't seem to find many universal systems... NO ONE makes a SHO nitrous kit...

I'll add a few points:

The reason for the n2o (not N twenty and not NO2 like a lot of people like to type) is that the nitrogen bonded with the oxygen makes the molecule more stable. The oxygen is the actual fuel. More oxygen = more fuel = more bang = more go fast.
This is why nitrous is "forced induction"
If it wasn't for the nitrogen bonded with it, the oxygen would burn up at a lower temperature and cause pre detonation much in the same way low octane does in a high compression/turbo automobile.

This is one of the reasons I do not like nitrous oxide as a mod. You're taking more fuel and dumping it right in from a seperate tank instead of a power adder like sc or turbo that is actually part of the working engine.

Look at the NOS pro-import fogger systems. They're not exactly universal systems because it says it's for a 4cyl, but you can put it in anything I'd imagine.
