100 & 125 shot is a LOT of juice on a 2l 4cyl motor. You've got to remember, stock internals can only handle 'so-much' additional power/stress before things go south really fast. With a power adder like NO2 it'll be fine one minute & melted pistons/bent rod the next...
Just cause someone else got away with a 125 shot... doesn't mean your motor will.
While a wet shot is 'safer' for the motor when setup right, it actually shouldn't need ANY 'AFM' (assuming you mean air flow meter/MAF) mods if you have the right jets selected. 1 or 2 stage colder plugs is a good idea, if you do a lot of daily driving keep an eye on them and make sure your not fouling them during normal driving.
Start with a 50 shot, believe me a gain of 25% more hp instantaneously is a big difference. Move up to a 75 or 100 if it's not enough. (100 would be the 'max' I'd recommend for an unmodified motor, 125-150 is really pushing it too hard IMO).
I'm talking about experience I've had dealing with NO2 in the 'drag race' scene and honda's. A friend of mine whose car we installed a wet 100 shot on his h22 (2.2) ran awesome, no problems. Another guy we know put a 125-150, instantaneous death happened to his motor.
