i'd do a tune for nitrous period. better safe than sorry imo. might as well go up to a 100 shot with some ht0's while your at it

i did the same thing. have a brenspeed tune with a zex kit.

with the 75 shot jets in, they said no retune is required. only take a couple degrees of timing out. anything over 100 shot requires a tune to run safely.

brenspeed also told me that they run a 75 shot on stock plugs all the time with no problems yet but they will not tell you they recommend it. once again, anything higher requires ht0's or equivalent.

it is the same for manual or auto, it pulls a signal from your TPS so it knows when you are at wide open throttle.

you can set it to start spraying in whatever gear you want i think. most do it from 2nd gear. you just set it and it sprays automatically when you are at WOT. all you have to do is arm the system.

i have a window switch so i can bypass 1st gear. i am spraying from 2700RPM to 5800RPM in all gears but 1st. the window switch is well worth the extra money

depends on where you're spraying too. at the track i spray right off the line and all the way down the track at wot. i'd say go with a window switch like mac10chap stated. save you a lot of trouble and make things a lot easier.
