I would start saving for a rear end. With the power you have and those sticky *** tires it will break soon.

I got a huge power increase with heads alone. You may also need a beefier rear end. Great luck with whatever you choose.

I agree, heads/cam will be alittle safer than nitrous. Alittle more $$, but you might save money in the end.

Heads\Cam is a 100% eventually along with nitrous but the more I hear that 10 bolt isnt gonna last long plus my 2nd gear is gone to **** it pops out of gear if I dont hold it in gear (only 2nd) the car runs ! I think Im gonna go with Nitrous then 12 Bolt The rest of my list is 12 Bolt, Heads\ Cam, TH400 or 350, 150 Shot, Torque Arm adj, PHB, LCA, QA1's then im done hopefully running 10's thats my goal Its gonna be a while before im done everyone knows how much parts are
