Buy a forged shortblock...skip nitrous...and go forced induction!!!! If had it my way i'd go twin turbo in a heartbeat!!! For 10g's i think you'll be able to accomplish that!!! Goodluck with what ever route you go!!!

I'd say upgrade your drivetrain/suspension/ perhaps even cooling, then spend whatever is left on the engine. No point on buying a 10 k motor and having stock drivetrain and suspension.

If he's got it like that, **** it!
I'd start right off buying a 9". Then getting the forged motor.
