Best bang for buck is Nitrous. Hands down.
You can get a set of budget heads and cam for right around 2k. Probably less if you search for a while.

(came like this from previous owner so im not sure but i kno its low 50's.) i want thinkn cams and gears but im not sure im lookn for other opinions. im almost positive i wanna do cams. i want the car to be driveable on the street so im only lookn for mild cams. perhaps comp cams.
