With that motor and that level of nitrous I'd sell the SCT tuner on eBay and put the proceeds towards a road-trip to a renowned shop that can properly dyno tune the car.

Take our advice and get it dyno tuned by a professional at a reputable shop. That is your only and best bet unless you want to risk really screwing something up by trying to do it yourself..
