Default Nitrous need advise

If I put nitrous on my T/A will I need tuning? If so ,what kind of tuning would I need and who could tune it for me. When the engine is tuned for nitrous how does it effect the motor under normal operation.

My motor is factory stock and I don't have or want any issues. Can I do nitrous and still have the turn key car that I have now??

Would you spray your LS1 if it were stock like mine is??

Thanks in advance, I'm trying to decide if it would be a wise mod for me.

Opinions please.

No tunning needed save for N2o and gas Jetting

Keep the jets small and yes

I've ran up to a 125 dry shot on mine when it was basically stock ( lid and catback only ) Probably ran maybe 10-15 bottles thru it and never had a problem. I'm going to need to up my injector size before I can run it again with my recent additional mods, but I highly recommend the experience to anyone
