Lope or Dope? I can't decide if I want to go with a NX MAF or similar kit, or do a cam, probably along the lines of 224/228 or 224/230, 226/226 etc. Car will have long tubes and a new clutch put on at the same shop visit as whichever one of these I am going to go with (East Side). I might give Scotty a call and see what his opinions/experiences have been, but what school of speed should I be spending my hard earned cash on: Lope or Dope?
The more I research on the two the more I can't seem to decide.

IMO it depend on the intended use of your Z28. If you want to go to the track, or if you want a silent sleeper with a stock sound for occasionnal street races, then go with the nitrous. But for a daily driver, I would go with the cam. No bottle to refill, power always there, killer intimidating sound.
Or you can go with PREDATOR-Z's advice and do both. Match a cam with your nitrous setup, then you'll be sure of the result and you will no longer ask yourself if you should have done this the other way!

This just gets more and more insane. Thinking about.. just a cam, than add heads, than nitrous, than its the rear end and block.. its like standing in a cold shower tearing up hundred dollar bills... but with a HOT woman there with ya, making it all worthwhile somehow..

My reasoning for getting the cam first.
You get power all the time, instead of when you hit the switch
You can get the tuning out of the way and you can upgrade your injectors while you're in there and tune it for the bigger injectors.
Lopey idle(that's a plus for me, not for all)
Since you got the headers, the cam will make even more power. Headers and cam go hand in hand.
did i say lopey idle?
