tuning a nitrous car

i recently moved to Southern Cali and im looking for a place to get my Evo 9 tuned. so far the car has a catless TBE, O2 housing, MBC @20psi. i am wanting to run a 50 or 75 shot on the car mainly becuase i already have the kit from my mustang. i was wanting to get a reflash and just run more boost, but the nitrous kit is free and i believe has more potential. my question is how hard would it be to get a tune for it and do you think it would be possible to run 25 psi and a 50-75 shot of nitrous on race gas or even pump. but anyhow id like to know if you guys could help me out and how much a tuning session for that would cost. thanks.

edit- its a Zex wet kit, and i was planning on running NGK BR8es plugs, which i also already have.

Nitrous on an Evo is not recommended. However, if u have big bucks don't listen to me.

Nitrous is extra Air. You need Extra fuel so you gotta go up on Volume or Octane.
And as everyone said, t00ning is the key to surviving the spray

If your nitrous kit has a 5V output signal, you could use the XEDE to control it. This would work great since you wouldn't have to compromise your pump gas tune in order to run your nitrous system occasionally. I would love to install a nitrous kit on my car, but I am all out of inputs on my XEDE .

Also,you could use a dry kit, since the XEDE could add more fuel when the nitrous is activated.
