Default nitrous concern

I have been doing a lot of research and have decided to go with nx wet kit. My concern is that when you run a N20 kit safely you need to back down the timing a couple of degrees and switch to a couple steps cooler spark plug. Well, since my car is a daily driver, and I will be using nitrous only when racing, wont that make me lose some power for daily driving. From what I have been checking out, I could probably get a chip that with a few different tuned programs burned into it, and then get on of those program selector switches installed so I could change the program when I need to race/daily driver. Would this take care of my problem?

Yes a flip chip with 1 tune for no nitrous and another for nitrous would work fine in your situation...

yeah it is because it sprays fuel in for you to keep it from the lean conditions
