Gotta 02 C5 A4, mild mods( 1-7/8 long tubes, 96mm intake w/TB, KN cold air,3" back exh, 305/35/19 drags, and a 200 shot of juice). Any ideas on a good tuner I had a Diablosport T1000 in mind...

I wouldn't necessarily consider a 200 shot of nitrous as "mild"... for that reason personally I would stay away from handheld tuners and mail tunes performed by farm animals or anyone else for that matter... take the car to a reputable tuner that can get their hands on the car and do it right

I agree a 200 shot of NOS is extreme---Typically you need to remove 3-4* of timing for every 100 HP of NOS --so in your case that would mean a -6-8 degrees of timing Otherwise you risk detonation and engine damage--
ALSO LT headers open up another new can of worms--that alone need to be tuned correctly in order to regain drivability and max HP--

You're probably not too far from Vengeance Racing in Cumming, GA.
Mike Carnahan is the tuner there, and can get your car running to perfection!
