80%, 100% or 200% Nozzle size?

Every comparison, dyno, race, tow, street, i havent seen a downside to a 200 nozzle. Im starting to wonder why they even make 80/100s.

Without live tuning or doing it yourself and spending a lot of time fiddling with it, idle quality and hazing at idle are big issues with 200's or larger, especially when cold and even more so at higher altitudes. Go back your cold truck up to a trailer and let it warm up while hooking up, by the time your done hooking up you'll want to rip your eyes out. Heck, even 100's are that way cold at altitude

Guess I'm good then, AZ heat at 2500 ele.

So really, that's fixable with tuning. May take a couple times, I had to do that for my trans.
Just a small speed bump I guess - )

Well, I'm in Florida right now so say 25*-100* ambient temp and sea level. Shouldn't be a problem NOW, but being that I am military, everything I do revolves around the fact that someday I might be trying to keep everything together in Alaska or not piss off the "enviro-police" in CA.

Just to be clear, I am not naysaying one theory or another, just trying to gain some insight and knowledge so I can make the right decision. Sounds like 80's are about out and the debate is between 100's and 200's. I think I would be all over a 130-150% nozzle right about now. Lol. If you can't decide, just go for the middle right? :doh:
