N20 is one of the best hp upgrades you can do as long as you do it safely. Make sure you have all of the necessary safety switches and such. If you have the 4.10 gears, you're gonna have traction problems for sure. There are several guys running 12's on stock LT1 motors NA. If I were to do it all again, I'd upgrade all my suspension and chassis components before touching the engine. You should also get all the hp bolt ons before doing a cam, IMHO. Get some LCA, SFC, relocation brackets, shocks, DR, LT headers and a good tune. Not sure if you should be running larger injectors or not with that dry shot, but you should check up on that as well.
Short answer: Get the DR's first. Nitto if it's a street driver, MT Radials if it's a track car.

Appreciate it, its got some minor suspension upgrades and right now of the bottle it spins through third but these tires are like circular ice blocks there so slick and thats why i was thinking getting me some nittos as well, but just a guess what u think id be running in a 1/4 with all i have...+ the DR's

Do you have at least a girdle on that rearend? I'd be careful with how much traction you do aquire, esp. when on the spray. What suspension parts are upgraded? Wheelhop will make short work of your 10 bolt in no time. So DR's would be good but try not to snap anything if you can't afford it. With the nitrous, gears, and traction you will stomp cammed cars.
Congrats on the purchase.

11k including the car so he means probably 2K in mods since GSX's are hard to come by cheap unless there first gen even so still hard to find. But you should still have no problem with just running N/A. Also to add I would get the DR's other than the cam and just wait to get a better cam and P&P the heads. Also is it a A4 or M6
