Which power adder would you recommend?
Alright guys, I need some advice from the wise . I've been planning what I'm going to be doing next year and have come to a point I can't decide on. Here are the basics:
My car made 382 rwhp after the cam, that's where it is at now (mods in sig). I want to make >450. I will be going with a Moser 12-bolt and a driveshaft before any more performance mods. The car sees a lot of street driving (which is why I went with a mild cam) but also gets about 5 track visits each year.
Now, do I go with a turbo setup, supercharger, or nitrous? My power adder budget is around $4-5K including installation. I'm open to just about anything, so lemme hear what you guys have to say. Thanks in advance.

I would tend to agree with the above; go with a good nitrous kit, especially if you are just looking for about 450 rwhp. Heck, if you have 5k$ to spend you could get a nice set of heads and probably see 450 rwhp without nitrous.

Great advice guys. I was actually leaning towards nitrous due to budget concerns but I didn't want to say that in case it would sway the results. Thanks again, other comments are definitely welcome.

i say spend the money on one of these new 6.2 aluminum blocks and stroke it to atleast a 4'' stroke.... use the l92 heads and intake then go to town on the nitrous... a 125 wet kit would be fun and plenty...
