just my 2 cents. i personally am getting a cam in the near future, nos you have to pay to play with everytime. a cam is a one time purchase.
+1, both would be great though

No, we saw that too, but the poll title was "Which would yo do first?". I would definitively do a cam before nitrous for the reasons given by 1Bad RamAir (power always there with a cam, no bottle to heat or fill up, etc...).

IMHO, when a member ask a question, it's for himself. But when it's a poll, it's more general, more for everyone. That's the way I see it.

Of course, giving it's current setup, you were right. He already have a cam. In its particular case, he should go with nitrous over a new cam.

well if he already has a cam why not heads then a N20.Im cammed and was in the same boat and after months I decided to add heads then a N20 and rear at the same time late spring or early summer.

I sprayed mine first. My cam is going in next week. Can't go wrong with either one.
