Default high mileage and spray

I got some money to play around with (5,000). I am thinking about the MS3 camshaft or go nitrous. My engine has 94000 miles on the clock. Is it safe to do nitrous on an engine with that many miles?

I sprayd my 96' SS from two weeks after I bought it new, until I sold it with 126,000 miles on it. Ran like a champ. Depending on how much you spray and how well your set up is, tuning plugs and things like that.. I'd check your tune, maybe be safe a have your fuel system checcked out, or even cleaned, that only cost less the $100.00 for some added piece of mind... As for the cam, you can spend more then a grand on a cam and install, and only get soo much rear wheel power, if you spend $500.00 o a nitrous kit, you'll get a whole crap load more rear wheel power.... Have fun with what ever you do.... Me... I say spray

After talking to TSP today I have decided to go with a smaller cam and go with the NOS dry kit for 100 shot of juice. I ordered my headers today so I should be geting those in a week.

*on a side note The person that I talked to at TSP was awesome and his professionalism convinced me to travel the four hours to TSP from El Paso. Keep up the good job guys!!

Sounds like a good start.All the guys I have meet from TSP were stand up people.

Take a look at our dry Halo system before you buy the nos dry kIt.

I have been very happy with the guys at TSP. I have only dealt with them over the phone etc. Where are they located??? I used to live in El Paso & don't know where they are located. I will be in El Paso next week and will be there for 3+ weeks. I won't have my car though as I will be on business.
