Default Tune

So far all I have done to my 02 Z is change fan settings and the shift skip function. Then I copied the high octane to the low octane tables. I just have borla exhaust from the cats back and a haltech intake. I am going to go with a wet kit nitrous system and was told I do not need to tune for this because it is a wet kit. I am totally new and trying to read up as much as possible but I am trying to get some expert advise. Can anyone point me in the right direction? HP tuners if anyone wants to know.

Bullsh!t. You still tune...wet kit or not. Log and verify your AFR at WOT on the juice as well.

There's more power to be gained on motor alone. Tune it for optimum performance on motor and then back the timing off 2-3 deg. per 50hp nitrous shot and you're in business.

You have no knock protection if your high/low octane table are the same. Not a good idea.
