Spray It, or turbo it and call it a day.

heads/cam/nitrous for me. You only get full power <1% of the time, but on the street how much of the time can you use more than 430 rwhp?

I only have one of the three, so far.


*With the N20 route you can built a wicked naturally aspirated heads/cam motor that does very well all on its own, then add nitrous later. Gotta love the lope.

Just curious, do heads change the sound of an engine at all? I would assume they probably can have some effect since stuff is flowing better. Loudness? or any other change by getting free'er flowing heads?

Higher compression, which most people with NA or N2O go to when head work is done, will give the exhaust a little more kick.

I'm not a fan of FI/power adder motors anymore.

I'm personally going to go with a 402/408 with a sick H/C combo and bumped compression.

the hp for $$

cam and n2o are the best imo

if u can do say mid 12's with bolt ons.
take a seccond off for the 100 shot
and add that cam u have 10's

sounds sweet to me.

im looking in to cams, i want a good dd cam not to small or to big was looking at the tr 230/224 or a tr 228/228
great power all the time and that extra kick for that viper, supra, cobra, or c6 z06

ah ok. The more I research, the more it seems worth it to save up for a supercharger, atleast for what I would use the car for. Keep us posted on what you get, and how they work out for you though!

i agree. a n/a setup is impressive but id worry about driveability and street manors with a big cam. im going with an ati prochrager p-1sc. power on demand and the whine is just as cool as a sweet lope. thats just my .02 cents.

You've never ridden in or driven a car with a big cam and good tune, have you?

NAWSSS. As joe ricer would say, you gotta have NAWSSS. Actually dollar for dollar N2o is the way to go for power. Im just afraid to put it in my car.
