Default Thinking About It!!!!!

Okay guys and gals I have been thinking real hard on what to do next.
Here is what I was thinking:
Option 1 - Spray 100 -125 shot with all the safety stuff.
Option 2 - Custom Grind CAM...not sure on size.
I am leaning more towards the SPRAY..one reason, it will be there only when I need it.
Un-like the cam, it will always be there..
I don't do alot of racing but it would be nice to have the extra power for those rare occasions...
Any advice....SPRAY or CAM it out..
My mods: Bolt ons minus Pulley,NGK plugs/8.5 taylor, YankSS4000, tranny cooler, 3:42s, 255 fuel pump, 160*, Dyno tuned 334 rwp, 335 tq.

Thanks for any advice...

spray it, your not gonna get a 100 horsepower out of any cam. id pick up a half decent set of headers as well, along with an exhaust system if it is stock

i went cam 1st. the extra power is great all then time. i havent sprayed yet, still waiting on my microedge controler from hsw.
and you gonna keep the bottle full and hooked up all the time, for thoes rare occasions?
also the 4000 stall might not like the n20 as much as a lower stall would.
but like mike said you do get more power from n20, but finish up with the bolt ons 1st

SPRAY!!!!


Talk to HSW....get a dry plate kit, add the Interface, and you got an awesome kit. Very easy to add/subtract fuel with the Interface.

No need for a custom dyno tune, easier to install then a cam, and a lot cheaper.

You have a bigger stall than I do...but check out my times on a small shot...

I went with a cam first. It should make great power and I like the sound.

Spray is next on the list once I do some frame ties and some minor suspension.

I'm going with both

I bought my H/C first though then decided to add the nitrous. The nitrous will definitely give you more performance but I think I'd still go with a cam first if you plan to get both eventually.

Thanks for all the replies guys...
I wana go CAM but would need a little more money to get it all put in plus parts.
now I can go SPRAY and have it put in about 2 hrs. alot cheaper too.
I already have pacesetters, ORY, adj Borla. and Full bolt ons minus pulley. and the 255 fuel pump. BUT would love to have a CAM in there aswell.
I guess I have made my decission from this post (BUT not really)
