trifecta help plz

alright so i got a local tuner here in south fl.. he said he can tune my balt for 300 bucks... my mods are cold air header downpipe 2.25 exhaust 2.4 mani and 90 shot... he told me that he has to tune my car for nitrous.. but i kinda wanted to get an all motor tune cuz i dont spray every race. he told me that its unsafe to run an all motor tune and spray.. is there any truth in this and if i get the nitrous tune will i see any differnce in performance wen im not spraying ?

Are you calling the right number? ;-)

Our official policy is that there is a minimum recharge for retunes, however, we generally waive the retune fee if the customer already owns a cable.

You dont need to tune for nitrious...They make wet kits for a reason... all motor tune and you will be safe!

The only issue is that the WOT fuel mixture on the stock tune is at 14.7 for 5 seconds, then (slowly) comes down to somewhere in the 13s. If you try to tune a wetshot for this, it'll either be too lean on tip-in or too rich once enrichment comes in.

back when i was stock tuned, PE activated about 4kRPMs and reached its richest (low 13's, occasionally high 14's) at 5k-5.5k RPMs, just so you guys can see
