I tend to like Nitrous. Simple, cheap, and BIG differance in power even on a small 75 shot

A TC should net you around 4/10ths, headers around 1-2. Nitrous is hard to say, should be about equal, but it IS going to put more strain on the motor. I'd do a 3500-ish stall + headers.

Headers without a cam ? Drag radials without gears ? Nitrous without a T/C ? What are we thinking ? I believe a post amendment is in order

1. Headers
2. Cam
3. Drag Radials
4. Gears
5. Nitrous
6. Torque Converter
7. And you can't put all that **** on there without some AFR's to support it, right ? lol ! Got any more $$$ for us to spend ?

So when's the mod party ?!

I'd do these things in this order:

converter
headers
drag radials
gears
suspension
cam
nitrous

But that's just me...
