I would say wet, and you shouldn't really need much for tuning a decent wet kit.

Wet Kit and no tuning is needed for a 50 shot NX KIT for the win.

No. Tuning in general is for your car all the time. Nitrous specific tuning would only happen when you're spraying and that's handled by the wet nitrous kit hardware with minor adjustments by your ECU.

what if your planning to spray 100-150 shot, with a build motor. Would having megasquirt ecu, 650cc, and 255 fuel pump help with a tune?

Then you would need more cowbell. Seriously?

IMHO anything above a 75 shot needs a dedicated tuner. I'd get something with a program switch so you have a tune with Nitrous and one without. Arm the nitrous and it switches the program. Simple, easy, and most of all SAFE! smile.gif

for every 75 to 100hp go a stage colder plug to be safe. If your gonna runa 75 drop to a NGK BRE6. Factory is 5 , with NGK's the higher the number the colder the plug. FYI
