N20 or 243 heads?? I'm stuck between going with some cnc 243 heads or a 75-100 plate set up. I'm leaning towards the nitrous because of my budget. How effective/safe is nitrous and what is a good company to go with? Any rec on what kit to go with?
Thanks

There are several good company's to deal with. We do a lot of the late model EFI cars.
What is the tale of the tape of the car?
Fuel system? How is it tuned? Bottom end? Goals for the car? What kind of car?
i see you have the torquer v2 cam.
what fuel pump/injectors do you have currently?
if you already have upgraded your fuel pump, i'd go with a HSW 100 shot wet plate kit (90mm $600 or 92mm $650 + COLDER spark plugs).
cnc'd 243 heads would be nice, but they won't put you back in your seat like a 100shot would. however, if you got the heads for a steal and were going to install them yourself, i'd go with the heads. that extra 40 or so horsepower from the heads will always be there.

I love N2O, and nothing beats that extra torque from it, but I would go with heads if I were you, you got a cam, and a FAST 92, so some QUALITY ported 243 heads will really shine on your motor, and at all times in all RPMs. Just my opinion. (but still add nitrous later on 
)
Just my plan exactly, when I get some heads on this summer/fall, I'm then upgrading my fuel pump and injectors and prepping for a shot of the juice!

This question was a no brainer for me, Nitrous FTW! Those 243s are nice but minimal gains, nitrous is endless. I sprayed 125 to start with like once then it was 150, 200, 225, 250 and now working on 300. Just call Graham at Nitrous Outlet and he will get you hooked up!

i was in the same boat as you, and decided to go with a nitrous setup. Graham was a big help to, im ordering my complete kit from them (the $1300 one) in a couple of months. Im going with a 150 shot.

Verdad Gallardo so u have a stock bottom with cam only + boltons + 250 shot of n20? how long you been running the 250? i didnt think the motor would last long running that big of a shot.
I would do the heads since you have all the supporting mods already. You will ALWAYS have the power. I went with the budget wise mod of spray and love it when i have a full bottle, but its the worst feeling when its empty or you have to go drop another 60 bucks to get it filled.

This guy right here shows what a little tuning and nitrous can do for you on a similar motor combination.
Is it? lol

For a wet plate system ( This is what I would recommend. Its all so the same system Carter uses) if the injectors support the motor, you are ok. The nitrous provides it's fuel via the fuel solenoid and adds no further load is applied to the injectors.
Good and broke in and ready for the nitrous.

Yeah, the stock injectors are more then fine on my current set up. That's another savings there then since the solenoids take care of everything. So with a wet plate kit, what all should I get (in the kit) to provide a strong, secure and accurate system?

This has all of the safety features you will want other than probably the window switch.

You will deff get more bang for you buck with nitrous. But if the car is only street driven I would go with heads. But that's because the bottle would be empty all the time. The stuff is way fun.
If you do go with nitrous, go with Nitrous Outlet. Great product. Made in America. And the biggest reason is great tech support. Someone always answers when you call or e mail.
