that's easy, get a 100 shot yourself. that is pretty much the cheapest bang for the buck you can get.
are you on drag radials or regular ol' street tires ?

yea if you want power now without doing a cam, nitrous is the way to go. 100 shot would fine on your stock bottom end..

i think you will have a very bad spinning problem running on street tires, i'd either keep the nittos or even better get some mt street radials.

easy if you can rent a cam/heads you will be in the safe side
or
100 shots will be more than enough + reducing your car weight
