Start a 3.5K; there's no need to go lower and it only increases the chance of you breaking things.
Plenum spacer is different than a throttle body spacer. You tap between your MAF and TB, usually less than 12" away from the TB.
Tune with whatever you can afford and whatever your tuner is comfortable with. UTEC, UpRev, Cobb, E-Manage are all within your budget.
Again, N/A tunes and nitrous don't mix, so ditch the TS reflash and get something else for N/A and nitrous tunes. If I have to explain this any further, then you shouldn't be messing with nitrous.
Dyno numbers don't mean jack. Dynos are tools for tuning and getting a relatively percentage increase/decrease. They're not accurate measuring tools. My nitrous numbers are all messed up for multiple reasons, so ignore them.

Man I enjoy your attitude, right to the point haha
I know the difference between a plenum spacer and a TBS...I have both and installed them both.. The ztube sounds like a good place to tap then.
Im waiting on VinnyTen to call me back about tuning possibilities, since they have an AWD dyno now so can tune me. You dont really need to explain the tuning much further, lol I understand: I will need to switch between the two maps. I am not talking about your numbers per say just the general increase.
Thanks for the help, I'll continue my research and wait on Vinny Ten to get back to me with tuning info.

I actually was very blunt and even flamed you a bit in my original post (The one you quoted), but I edited it to soften it up for you.
User CP -> Edit Options -> find "Thread Display Mode" and change setting to "Linear - Oldest First"
Problem solved.

I used to be pretty verbose with explaining every aspect, but I try to keep things pithy nowadays to allow the user to research on their own for in depth answers.

Follow the below instructions:
User CP -> Edit Options -> find "Thread Display Mode" and change setting to "Linear - Oldest First"
Problem solved.

There is too much in here for me to pick through....so I will simply address the auto w/ nitrous question. The AWD will obviously put a greater stress on parts, but the auto in the z is fairly robust. User ajcool2 runs a 100 shot through his bolt-on auto car. It comes out of the hole with AUTHORITY. Stock 5at with a stall. No VB upgrade.
I'll leave this here: Pulls low-mid 1.6 60' times on slicks. My belief is it will pull high 1.5's on a track with some heat in it. We'll see.

12 flat with no tune? That's really good. I'm guessing he has all the normal bolt-ons (exhaust, TPS, headers, intake, spacer, etc...). But still, 12 flat is pretty nasty. Especially since you can pick up a nitrous kit with everything you need + a tune for around $1k

3hree5ive0ero basically says it all.
While I have no experience with other setups, I can say Dynotune is a really nice company to deal with regarding customer service. I've had no issues with their products either.
Just remember lower engagement means more stress on the drivetrain. I'm having my re-tuned this Spring to start at 4k instead of 3.5.

i was talking to Performance Motorsport in NY, who has Uprev tuning capabilities and mentioned n20 to them. They do nitrous builds, and us NXpress so maybe Ill have them do the build, make a map for nitrous and a map for "normal" driving....

well its $600 for a dyno-tune ECU with Uprev, and I think they can do a map for n20 with that, and the kit installed with everything i need NX is about 1200
