MS4 in, now what? Got my Ms4 finally put in and will be tuning it in the next couple weeks.
I am also getting gears and an ls6 intake around the same time to accomodate this bigass cam.
However, the fun is just beginning... I am addicted to the "rawness" and want to start thinking of my next step. Either nitrous or heads but not sure which first? I'm thinking nitrous but only because I'd get huge gains over the heads.
What do you guys think?
Eventually, I want to get a 408 stroker so thinking if i buy heads, might be wasting the money. Should I just play with nitrous until i can get the 408? probably this time next year before i'll have the cash for the stroker...

pick up a cheap n2o kit and have fun until next year when you can buy the 408/heads/cam(yes get a new cam with a 408). Do your new motor all at once and do it right the first time.

I want to be able to adjust from like 75-150psi so should I go wet or dry? Is either cheaper that the other?
I'll buy a kit but what else should I buy for safety so I know all is well before i spray?

Search through the nitrous forum for opinions on wet vs dry, it has been beaten to death over there.

I have a TNT kit sitting in my garage and I ordered my MS4 today!!! 
I had basically the same thoughts as you. I was going to do H/C, but I can make more power on the juice, plus I'm planning on a bigger cube motor down the road and would wind up buying bigger/better heads anyway. I'll just enjoy my little 346cid and pill it till I kill it. The MS4 should be a pretty damn brute cam, throw on a 100-150 shot of N2O, open the exhaust up and those within about a mile will likely be swearing that the world is coming to an end.
