You're welcome
nitrous oxide does not add fuel

as we know, 1 atmosphere is equal to 14.7psi

N20 greatly increases this pressure, the more pressure you have, the more power.

My WET system ADDS fuel, it allows you to combust more fuel making more power.

or is it just some nitro booster that works on it's own?

and it's ok to know it all, if you really do. ;)

bcp_tc: You're kinda right on both.

A "dry" NOS system just sprays nitrous through the intake, but it does also introduce more fuel (as more of a byproduct). It generally uses stock injectors and increases the fuel using A)Higher pressure or B)tricking the ecu into flowing the injectors longer.

what most ppl call "wet" systems are actually "foggers" (wet systems spray nos+fuel into the intake. not advisable unless you have an intake/carb suitable for wet apps). foggers inject nos+fuel directly into each intake port of the engine. this is the most efficient/boostful setup and has the most flexibility. naturally, it is also the hardest to install and tune.
