Default Nitrous Oxide and tuning?

Been thinking about nitrous after a stall for my auto. But I was wondering how the tune is gonna be for nitrous. When you get a tune for nitrous does that mean when your not using the nitrous the tune is gonna suck because the computer is no longer tuned for stock?

It's all going to depend on the size shot you want to run and if the timing has been adjusted prior to you getting the nitorus on there. Just pulling out a couple of degree's for nitrous shouldn't hurt the car in any way when driving NA. You might lose a little power but thats about it.

Just to back up what Chris said: I'm tuned for a 75 shot. My car made 420rwhp NA, and when they pulled timing for the nitrous I ended up with 400rwhp. I use the car as a DD and I have no complaints. There's no sluggishness, no added wear and tear, just the convenience of being able to spray at a moments notice.

This helps a little for me. But its a big turnoff to know my car is always going to be tuned "inbetween" and not how it should be if I had nitrous. Its turning me away bigtime. Ill probly just do stall and cam hmmm

If you want the best of both worlds then just get a timing tuner or the lingenfelter box to pull the timing when you spray. I have the lingenfelter box and I pull 8 degrees on a 200 shot with it. When you are on the motor you have your N/A tune and when you hit the button it pulls the desired amount of timing for you.
