Default Nitrous info needed

I own a 1998 c5 corvette and am looking to install a wet nitrous kit. Does anyone have the zex kit? I am just going to be using a 100 shot but i want to do it " right the first time".... i dont have the funds to purchase a supercharger or a turbo set up and just want the extra power for those darn mustangs that always pull up next to me reving there engines... you all know i am sure lol. Everything on my motor is stock with the exception of an upgraded larger mass airflow sensor housing and a vararam cold air intake. Once i have the nitrous kit hooked up does anyone know if i should have my car tuned. For that matter should i have it tuned with the cold air intake i installed. I live on the eastern shore of Maryland . Does anyone know if there is a good tuning specialist arournd here? Thanks for any info yall can give me

FYI: you probably lost HP with the larger MAF.

I would take it in and get it tuned for the vararam and n2o.
my vararam caused alot of problems with the tune after install.
