Ft86 catted header OFT tune?

I have an FT86 catted header on the way that I found used for a pretty good deal. The only thing is that the previous owner says the cat is no longer in because his super charger blew it out. Once I install the header which OFT tune would benefit me the most but also run safely the stage 2 catted tune or the stage 2 no cat tune?

I did reach out to open flash this was the response:

I can't say if you have a CAT or not. You need to check.

Use whichever map corresponds to your physical hardware -- BUT understand that the mapping was developed with ACTUAL hardware described ... not a "variant" or "modified" version of the described hardware.

​.... A catted header, with a broken catalyst is not the same as a non-catted header physically speaking.

There may be no ideal map for you because of the unique header you have.

Check to see the condition of your cat. If it's in good condition, run the catted header tune. If it's blocked or falling apart, gut it out and run the catless header tune.

The question was what Openflash tune I should use due to the header I have coming in that was originally catted but had the cat gutted out. I still wasn’t sure with the response I got from Openflash.
