If you could swing it I would go forced induction. I know that's were I want to take my car. With nitrous costing $45+ for a 10lb bottle I feel it is going to get rather expensive.

Ok, a looooong while. I just want to ride in the thing, never been in a v8 turbo car before. I can't even imagine the force that thing will generate on you when it accelerates. Street tires, drag radials, just worthless on the street in that car.
Yea drs are about worthles sunless you have some serious cash sunk into the suspension to help it hook
