Between getting the Texas Speed and Performance Magic Stick 4 cam with pushrods and springs or a Wet nitrous system and long tube headers. I would love the sound of the cam but then again the nitrous would be a lil bit more power but not all the time power. Any Thoughts. Going on a 2004 GTO.

If you have to get one or the other get the wet kit. You'll like the performance of the nitrous system a lot more than all the troubles of a big cam.

A cam with that much overlap NEEDS an open free flowing exhaust system thus you will need the long tube headers with the MS4 also. If funds are tight then get the Nitrous system and LTs first then add a cam later down the road.

agreed. plus the cam will need more then just the parts mentioned for a good matching setup. like a tune, performance catback, hiflowcats/offroad pipes, gears, and a stall conv if a4. also either way expect to need a clutch if T56.
