So i decided to sell my 68 chevelle and i am getting a decent amount for it, and some will be going into my car.
I do not want to spend all of it on my car right now since i am in college so i have to settle for one Nice mod to my car for now.
1 choice is Pacesetter or Maybe hooker long tubes with a Catted Y pipe, with dual cut outs after the cats on the y pipe, Or possibly a true dual all the way back with the catted long tubes.
Or
a nice 75-150 Nitrous kit, probably HSW's kit. Still debating between wet plate or nozzle kit. I would run a 120 shot and maybe a 150 shot for some nice dyno numbers and a couple nice time slips.

I possibly will end up with both eventually but for now i will only get to order one for my thanksgiving break. What do you guys think.

 

Need the headers for the nitrous imo.

 

Nope,,, Go NITROUS...
I have a stock '01 Z28 A4 with a 125 wet shot running 11.70 @ 119mph.
only mods are: SLP lid and a Flowmaster muffler, THATS IT!

 

Nitrous will be worth more and easyer to install on your own.

 

nitrous will be better. but don't forget to add the cost of a window switch and all the safety stuff to keep your motor together

 

let me know if you need any help with our kits

 

Nitrous will get you going and won't require headers but the headers will help later on (when you're ready to spend more money) to get everything breathing better.

 

NITROUS! you will have fun with the nitrous. if you go bigger than a 125 shot i would retard a lil timing and change plugs 1deg. colder.(just to be safe) but deff. get headers as the mod after the nitrous.

 

look where you posted, you know which one you want. spray it

 

well i figured it would be better to ask someone who is knowledgeable in nitrous, rather than someone who does not know about it at all.
I like the idea of headers first due to the power all the time, it gives it a nicer sound and the power you do gain is CONSTANT, While nitrous the power may not be constant but i will gain at lease 5 times the power. so its hard to say what i should get first. So i just wanted some opinions on people who already had to deal with this same question.

 

Headers. Sounds better as your driving along all the time. Nitrous is short-lived and needs refilling. Headers don't need refills. . .

 

**** Headers.... If you want to go fast on the cheap, THE ONLY OPTION is Nitrous.
Make sure its a nice, comprehensive kit, with all of the safety measures, and you will be flogging corvettes and Cobras for years to come.

 

Get the headers first man, itl make it all the better when you do spray it. . not to mention your car will sound a lot meaner and better performance all the time. . just my .2

 

nitrous is the only option IMO

 

Yep, and what a sleeper it would be.

 

If this was the last thing you were planning on doing, I would go nitrous. Since you have more mods planned, I think headers would be the right decision for now and would give you better results for you money when you decide to spray. That being said, you should look for the best deal on both products and buy whatever you can get the best deal on. If a sponsor has a killer deal on spray take advantage of it. Same for headers.

 

from what i understand stock manifolds flow pretty decent. n20 the best bang for your buck and i'd go that route

 

um, lets think about this.
#1 headers: painted off road pacesetters $263. ory $150 o2 extenders $40, total $553 for a 20HP gain if your lucky. but its there and dosen't need to be refilled. a whopping 15-20HP.
#2 nitrous: super easy dry kit $225 bottle fill $45
total $270 125HP and refill bottle every couple of months.


nitrous dumdumdum

 

Don't get me wrong, I love the spray about as much as anyone on here, but you're not being reasonable with your price estimates. You didn't factor in a single safety device or accessory. Bottle heater, window switch, wideband, depending on IDC injectors. More than likely will have to pay for some dyno time to retune/figure out IDC.

 

Nitrous!!! then race a "fast IMPORT" for money and you get your headers for free!
