Default cheatr cam or nitrous setup

I want to install one of the two in the upcoming weeks but cant really seem to figure out which one i should go for...I think a cam install would be pretty cool but it wont make enough power for the cost of everything. On the other hand nitrous seems like a better idea but im not very sure on what to get or look for nitrous wise

If cost is your concern, then a good grab bag n2o kit (nitrous outlet) and a couple safety options will do you good. Toss in a set of TR-6 plugs and spray 150 all day long. They are good deals if you wanna save a lil money and make your own kit.

dry:

PLUS, cheater cam will not pass smog, too much overlap. Nitrous WILL pass smog

Cams are great but the n20 will get you more bang for the buck

It is perfectly fine if you set it up correctly and don't get too greedy.

^^^Hahaha my first time on a bone stock LS1 was a 125 shot, AND that was on a ghetto rigged set-up with NO safety items and stock plugs. This motor likes the giggle juice, if set-up and tuned correctly there is little reason you can't run a 200 shot on a stock (internally) motor.

i think a cheater cam will be a waste of time with only minimal gain. not that i know **** about n20 it seems like a good deal if everyone on here is telling the.truth it sounds pretty good. you can add 150 hp for 600$ sounds to good to be true

I would go standalone wet. Yes its a little more cash but if u go dry u need to upgrade the injectors and pump. Idk if u done that. Or even a normal wet kit. Nitro daves seams to have good products and prices check them out.

Yes me and you could but the majority of people out West won't
