Im sorry but im agaisnt "nos" in every way possible. if im gonna drop 6 or 700 bucks the stuff better be working ALL the time, not jsut when I hit a button and lasts for seconds at a time. I know nitrous doesnt tear **** up as bad as it used to be I still say its very hard on the motor and especially a transmission. im jsut not a fan of it and will never use it.
If he wants to do a cam then yes def, a nice mod to do but thats a lot of work and money hes gonna be doing for it.

it's not an accepted industry term it's a term used by ricers and 
Call it n2o is you want but it's not "nos" NOS is a brand name. Call it nitrous, giggle juice, juice, happy gas, if you want

You've obviously never rolled much. Roll races dont last longer than a few seconds and the winner is known. You either pull them or they pull you or its dead even. No one win's by a quarter panel on a roll race. So n2o is a great choice here for the money.

Not sure how you match a cam to a stall, strictly and m6 guy, but with a tr224 112 lsa cam you would only need comp 918's and be done with it relatively cheaply. It would give the extra punch and then you could add n2o when the cam isnt enough. OR just add n2o right now.

I filmed this race from 40-160 they were within a fender of each other. One of the closest races I've ever seen

lets see it first, a pile of parts isnt a result.

I rolled a vette the other day, it was over in seconds. 60-120+ walked all over the vette but it wasnt saying much. Think it was an lt1 anniversary something or other. I've had them last more than a few seconds but those are few and far between. Usually 10 seconds is the longest it takes. If your even after that then its over in my mind. There is a limit. If your even and no ones pulling then I dont see a need to keep going.
6-spd swap. As soon as you start putting some power through your auto its gonna be time for a rebuild anyway, so you might as well trade with someone while your tranny still works....
well i was trying to stay N/A. dont really have the money either. was looking more into a cam. dont know too much about them but i gotta find the perfect one for my setup.
nitrous was something that seems like a very good idea but i would really hate the fact that i wouldnt have the power all the time. i would also hate filling bottles constantly, thats gotta add up.

If you want to go the n/a route like me I would go with a cam and a good tune and you should be good for a little while but I know I always want to go faster...
