RE: Nitrous question
You only have to tune for nitrous if the shot requires it. Smaller shots on cars that are not modified normaly do not require a tune. The manual for the kit you buy should explain what they siuggest in that area.
In regards to changing your tune. If you are running a shot that requires a tune you can drive with that tune installed at all times. You may find that you loose a few NA horse power (maybe 10 HP or so, just depends). However, it's not a big deal.
What kind of kit were you looking at and what kind of shot? That info might help with further info.

RE: Nitrous question
Yep you'll need a tune. Zex kit requires one for anything over a 75 shot. You'll also need to add in some HT0 plugs for that shot. You can run the tune all the time without a problem.
You will also want some other items, window switch, bottle opener, bottle heater, etc. You can get up there pretty quick with a goodnitrous set up.
I was running a 125 shot from a zex kit before getting the KB.

RE: Nitrous question
Get the zex traction control device--blows away a window switch, as you can digitally program it like a window switch, but you can also select what gears you spray in.
I run tuning for a 125shot all the time--on a dyno only a few minutes apart(to load tunes) it was only 6 HP difference between my NA performance tune & the Nitrous tune, not really enough to feel on the road. The nitrous tune pulls between 5-6 degrees of total timing.

RE: Nitrous question
<---- nitrous newb
and the nitrous sprays always at WOT if the bottle is opened? so you can drive on the highway with no nitrous, open the bottle, floor it, and have 100 more HP? (hypothetical i know its for the track)
no more fast and the furious buttons on the steering wheel for spraying? again im a super noob with nitrous
