Default Tuning Option for 97 Vette

I own a 97 vette, currently stock, but im gonna replace it with a 408ci motor and a 200 Shot Progressive Nitrous system.. my goal is 500whp N/A and 700whp with NOS.

Just wanted your thought on what tuning method/option to use

P. S. my goal is a low 10, high 9's street/strip daily driver.

thanks & appreciate your replies

Hello Magnus,

I read in HPT website that 2-3BAR SD is for boost applications.. so can it be used for N/A? cause i dont have the option for 1 bard SD unless if i upgrade to a 99-02 PCM.

I am currently in the planning/ parts acquisition stage on a 97 vette and 98 Camaro, both with similar goals. I voted for the upgrade. EFI Live's custom OS's are free with free updates for life. Custom OS #5 sounds like a great fit for your application. Change tunes from NA to N20 at the flip of a switch. I was in Bahrain on business last year in May. I might get a chance to take another trip this year.

You can use the 2bar OS on a 1bar vehicle for 98's, just put in the 1bar scalers in the calibration. Its in the Engine Diagnostics section.
