Tuned for what exactly? And it's not "NOS." NOS is a brand. The kit is made by Nitrous Express. Wet kits do not need a tune as the fuel and air is mixing at the nozzles. The only time a tune would be needed is if you are going above 100HP where you would want to retard the engine timing by several degrees and change to colder spark plugs. With the addition of an RPM window switch, the solenoids only open at certain RPMS so I honestly can't justify needing a "tune"

I don't know about you guys but N20 on a car is tabboo in my books, because even when you're turbo'd/scharged, the power comes in smoothly, while a nitrous setup just kicks in! One moment you're doing 250whp all off a sudden you're doing 350whp.. that's just dangerous impulsive force bro

I'm sorry, but most of the comments in here are pure ignorance on this subject. Cheap nitrous kits in the hands of inexperienced users are trouble, but progressive nitrous kits done right are every bit as "safe" as turbo/supercharginging options.

Ever heard of a progressive nitrous kit?

There are alot of dumb comments. I actually had the Venom VCN-2000 system on my G35 for many years, and years before that on my RSX. Many kits have a linear/progressive mode. It provides a very smooth dyno curve, much like a superchargers (but with more torque).
If you know what you are doing they can be very safe. Mine even adjusted the A/F ratio automatically to ensure you do not run rich. It also has a cutoff if you do ever run rich.
I would say if done properly, nitrous is much safer than TT or Supercharger. With nitrous and good engine management system, you can program exact spray percentages throught the RPM range, a/f levels, timing, and more. There is no boost creep, oil worries, vacuum leaks, ect.

Some people just hate nitrous, that's all there is to it. Just ignore them or if you're feeling lucky try to educate them. When I was growing up, my dad had a 300 shot in his funnycar and a nitrous refill station in the back garage. I ain't afraid...
