I think there was a TCI3500 converter in the for sale section for like 325 or so, buy that for the best thing under 400. HUGE difference over stock...

NITROUS.
Why bother with any thing else with the goals you have?
400 and best bang for the buck ='s NITROUS.
I have a few kits in stock.
Let me know ASAP and I can get something 2 days to you so you can have it friday.

I agree with gears, for completely stock upgrade best kick in the pants price wise. Not including nos, but nothing beats that. I just don't prefer to spray, just me

nitrous is best bang for the buck. I ended up getting stuck doing heads due to a self inflicted failure, so I am going with heads and cam, but I have never been a big nitrous fan anyway. But bang for the buck is definately nitrous.

Why would it matter if he got pulled over? Just hide the tank and problem solved. Even some cops looked right at they probably wouldn't even know what it is. Or you can say it blows Co2 to keep the engine cooler?
