you're right to be a little worried.until the car is tuned, you're just guessing at air/fuel ratios & timing.you might run it for years w/out a hitch, or you could have problems the next time out.i would err on the side of caution & get a tune to know what's up w/that ls6.[you'll probably sleep better]

With only a 100 shot and some headers I think the stock tune should be fine. Although it would be nice if you had a scanner and record a nitrous pass and see if the car registers any knock retard then you could back off a little bot of w.o.t. timing. I ran a 100 shot in my 98 for a year with no tuning. I switched to a 125 shot the following year with nothing more than removing 2 degrees of total timing at w.o.t. Unless you plan on camming and running more than a 150 shot I think you will be fine.
