Mmmm... I think it might be a little crass for you to be calling anyone an idiot, Tourige. I mean, I've read so many threads about each individual aspect and problem of your Zex install, I feel like I put the damn thing in. Maybe think about that before you bash others.
Anyhow, with a 75 shot (assuming it's wet, of course), it really wouldn't be absolutely necessary to run a custom tune. Most of the EFI kits you'll see on the market are designed to work with stock ignition, timing, and injection, so there's really no need to be adjusting anything. Is it safer? Of course. Does not doing it mean you're going to blow your engine? Nope. Back when I used to hang in Levittown, where the only entertainment was racing, plenty of people would bolt on a 75 (and even a few 100) shot and be completely fine.
I am going to be using a new tune, but largely because I already have an X-CAL2.
A Custom tune is 2 fold, you get inproved performance, and you KNOW your car is runnin properly and that its actually setup for the nitrous.
That 600-800 bucks for a chip+tune is a much better investment than a new engine.
