a tuner isnt that bad for nitrous. I mean it takes what 2 min tops to load a tune. thats plenty of time if you're sitting in the staging lanes for 20-30 min on a TnT

A tuner has 4 memory banks. It can hold 3 custom tunes and the 4th is to store your factory computer setting

well thanks for all the info. I am still wondering if I have to buy a new chip everytime I do something to the car since it is not a hand held tuner.
You won't need to buy a new chip, but you'll need a re-burn with every modification. Custom burns are always better for performance IMO, but they can put you in a bit of a bind.
