Default Plugs and tune HELP

I am installing a Nitrous Outlet Plate kit on my 2000 Camaro this weekend. I had my mail order tune set up for TR6's because that what my tuner recommended. But after a ton of reading it looks like I should be moving to a BR6EF. If I did this would I need a new tune?

I'm only running a 100 shot I just installed a wide band and I will be wiring it into my HSW MicroEdge. I was told to set the rich shut off at 11.4 A/F and the lean shut off at 12.0 A/F what are your thoughts about this?

The car has 135K on it but it runs good. I recently installed long tubes and a cat back. I'm not running any cats.

I couldn't imagine that swapping a plug 1 step colder than stock for another plug 1 step colder than stock would make enough of a change to have to do a full re-tune, but I'm sure someone with WAAY more knowledge than me will answer soon.

Get a new tuner.

you dont need to retune if you go to a 7.

Well I have been with my tuner for awhile and I would like to drive to him and he would tune it with the 7's in it but I'm getting a mail order tune becaues I don't have the time to drive to him. I guess I can put the 7 in it and watch my A/F ratio.

Forget ur tuner, Forget mail order tunes, LOL. Get yourself a HPT or EFILive and Masports efi tuning book. You will never rely on anyone else to tune ur car again. It's easier than you think.
