Night and day difference. You know how right now you have a spike at around 3k? Well that goes away because PEdelay is turned off, so you get your power "now" instead of 5 sec after you hit the pedal, which in 1st is roughly 3k.

There is a way to have a nitrous and regular tune at the same time, its still being worked out though.
