Default Attn: Dry kit experts...Need Help!!

Robert56, or any experts...I need some help!! I have a 2005 C6 corvette with headers, heads, a mild cam, and a TNT wet kit. I like the nitrous but rarely use it since I dont trust wet kits much. I want to change it to a dry, but there is no tuner within 12 hours of me who knows how to tune a dry kit. The company that tunes my car right now is 5 hours away. They use LS2 Edit to tune, but they absolutely will not tune dry. That seems to be the case with most of the state of Texas. Do you absolutely NEED tuning for dry hits? I need some ideas here...

if you wanna spray larger than a 75 shot I would get tuning.....if you go bigger than that w/o a tune then at the very least you are gonna need a wideband and larger injectors.....

Breifly read your post. no problem dry hitting your car. If ya get the nozzles located correctly, you'll start off with an exceptable a/f. I do have the C6 nozzle loction mapped out for a good a/f, and will post pic after I go eat. Check back in a while.

Thanks so much!! I've been trying to go dry for quite a while now, but the only tuner who does dry is 12 hours away AND he needs me to have my other tuner flash my computer back to stock so he can tune with HP Tuners. Kinda makes things really hard for me so if I can get by without the tune then that would be great! I do have a Vararam intake installed, if that makes any difference in nozzle location.
