hey, got mine out of the shop a week ago, details in the sig, i love it.! got it when i want it, and don't have to worry about it when i don't. the cam is a nice addition to a n2o car, cause it helps out when ur not on the juice. keeps it peppy. lol. and gives a better exhaust sound. cant think of a reason why you shouldn't consider this.

Youll need to worry about clutch/rear end. if you plan on track racing, youll need to invest alot in suspension and bias ply tires. But all and all its fun as hell.

o the rear end and clutch have also been on my mind and that WILL be something i take care of regardless of whatever power adders i end up going with. suspension... eh, i havnt thought about that too much. tires are also something that i am already in the process of getting taken care of.

Cam and spray is what I plan to do in the future. A cammed ls1 is fast but you'll have the nitrous when you want additional power. The two best mods to do to these motors

Do a cam like a MS3 cam or Trex cam both very good cams and like spray. When you do you need to upgrade your valve springs and your injectors. Alot of times when you go with a bigger cam it will max your injectors out. Then I would upgrade the fuel pump at the same time. Then get a tune. This is a good starting point before you start buying a nitrous kit.

Few other things to do with the cam install would be timing chain and oil pump, depending on the kind of kit you go with need to upgrade the fuel pump/injectors, but suspension is one of the key components to getting your car to work right. It all goes together in the end so do some research before you pull the trigger and buy parts, and chk the classifieds for some good deals. GL

I too would recommend pump and injectors after the cam install if you are planning on spraying it... its cheap insurance. Then your clutch, and rear-end will be a ticking time bomb from then on out....

As far as suspension goes, it will make all the difference in the world!
