If you don't get a tune for the N20. At the very least get a wideband sensor. A very cheap investment that could save you thousands in the long run. Plus pulling plugs everytime you run your car is the old way of checking a tune. What does a plug look like with the AFR is at 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, 14.5. The point being if you do not have the money to get a tune orto atleastget awideband senor, than you do not havethe money for N20. The leaner you run your engine the less life your enginge will have period.

Listen to this guy. He knows exactly what hes talking about. 125 shot on a stock tune with no safety? Dude your stupid. Flat out. Fuel rail pressure sensors that come in nitrous kits are known to be low quality. Plus that still isnt going to help you when you run a bit lean and cook.
A low quality shop may be able to install your n20 and tune it for 500$ but areal goodshop is going to charge you700-900 (400-500 for the tune, 100-200 for the chip and80-100 an hour for install @ 2 hrs min to install.)
Remember you get what you pay for. You also dont have to do everything at the same place. If the shop is ripping you off for labor and the chip buy the chip online and get a "back-alley" mechanic to install your kit. Just double check everything for leaks andwiring issues. Then take it to the dyno shop to tune it.
