Both will help performance. I'd be safe and get the window switch.

I think it all depends on where your car is, can it go faster and not compromise traction, or do you need traction right now. by your sig running a 13.6 I say get the nitrous, but make sure you cover your bases with it.

No reason to make it look fast if it can't go fast.

Get the wheels and tires, then sell your old ones and have some jack to throw in the bank when you are saving for the nitrous.

i agree you cant do one or the other, save and do both, who cares if a car is fast but looks like **** and who cares if a car looks good if its slow! Weigh your options..

Make sure that you save for a rear end, if you put too sticky of a tire on that thing. good luck
