Read my post to what the car has done to it already. He bought mine. So anything that is done is listed a few posts above. Here is it again:

Gm 4.10's
UMI LCA's
UMI PHB
Jet Hot long tubes
LPE CAI
1LE elbow
Nitto 555r drag radials
Car has been tuned by MADZ28, but may need to be retuned as the tire went to a smaller size *example the shift points*
Car also has the shift points "electronically" enhanced.

A LOT of weight reduction.

if you're going to go through the trouble might as well put a real LS engine in there (LS7)

Do a nitrous cam if you are going to go the nitrous route. They will make a HUGE difference.

Not on the baby shots the overwhelming majority of guys run. Start talking 250HP plus shots then consider a nitrous grind.
