I know how you feel about nitrous. I ran a 75 shot on my basically stock SE waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back and ran a 13.8. The problem with nitrous and the Contour platform is that you just can't get the power to the ground.
I know... I had nitrous, then SC'ed the 2.5, then went hybrid 3L and I can say that the 3L was easily the best of the 3. Not for peak dyno numbers, but for the power under the curve... and being able to put that power down a lot more easily (and not having to refill bottles).
What's your car run in the quarter?

The standard XCAL2 with a basic tune doesn't give you adjustibility. It has to be setup by the tuner and then limited parameters. THat is the extreme racer pack that I recommended, basically it is the xcal2 with adjustibility, which is NOT the same as the PRP. I only recommend the PRP for some people with a lot of time on their hands and at least some brains.

Do I get to correct Tom for once?!?! Actually, the XCAL2 does have SOME adjustibility. It's not a whole lot, but if you have the tuner giving you a decent enough program, you shouldn't need THAT much adjusting anyway. You get ~5% adjustibility with AFR and 2* +/- in timing, from wherever they set your paremeters. You'll have to download the free software from sctflash.com, and it's simple to do!
For crazy forced induction applications, I would suggest the PRP or a dyno tune. You can always get the XCAL2, and get right on a dyno, or wideband, and see how things look, and have adjustments made from there with updated programs/tunes.
And Bill(Starjammir), I emailed Brent @ Brenspeed today. I'm sure he'll get back to me in a day or two about possibly setting up a group buy. I'll post in the GB forum if he commits to it.

lol. Okay, I guess that is something. The exreme racer adds a bunch more from what I can tell though.

Oh there's no questioning that. That, I'm guessing, is why it's an additional ~$300 for the PRP.  The PRP gives you, pretty much, the capabilities of doing anything and everything a professional tuner has access to. Just don't put it into the wrong hands!

LOL forget all of you people. i guess I'm an idiot and running a DIS4 box for FKIN TIMING RETARD is a stupid idea. although ive used nitrous a bottle a week and never had a problem. face it. you guys spent 5x the money and 5x the work and i will still beat you, at the cost of 30$ a week. i make that much taking a [censored] on my lunchbreak. forget this site, lol. grats one less "idiot" that is a CONTOUR ENTHUSIAST. just throw everyone off the board that doesnt worship you so you can be the last male to own a contour, ill sell mine to some middle aged chick like everyone else did. later. (oh by the way my last post will be me beating a 12.7 second mustang by about 4 car lengths, but i dont know anything. i'm a noob) you freaking idiots havent seen my car so you wouldnt even know. you shoulda asked for info before you talked all the smack here, lol

Walk quietly, and carry a big stick.
I wouldn't walk so loudly, my man. You've no idea of that which you speak. You haven't the foggiest idea of what I spent, what I DO spend, or what you would "beat me" by.
You're abrasive, rude and condescending. Calm it down, and do it quickly. You don't have to leave, but you do have to be social. You can CHOOSE to leave, that is fine, but you can't treat the other members with that language, or attitude. Calm down. If you're so fast, good for you. Others enjoy it THEIR way, the same way you're preaching it is SUPPOSED to be (to each his own.. remember?)
