Hey Spike, when I put this thread togther, I wanted to really just put out the basics of nitrous and ythen start a discourse. So I only really discussed the more popular kits. My kit is neither NOS or NX for example.

There is only one nitrous setup that I know of where a tune is pretty pointless: Venom-100. That is because the Venom computer takes over control of the injectors, so it does not matter much what the ECU is trying to do with the exception of timing.

However, for all other kits a tune becomes more and more important as you go to a bigger shot especially if it requires fuel system and MAF upgrades. Tuning for nitrous can provide the following:

1 - Raising rev limiter
2 - Adding a two-stage rev-limiter for launching
3 - Verifying a/f and correcting

Of course the first two can be accomplished with with a mailorder chip for that matter.
