do basic upgrades: intake, headers, exhaust. You'll notice little difference with each mod

Yeah , nitrous! I've got 400 bucks in my zex system, bought it brand new off ebay. No problems to date even without a ignition retard. Took me from low 15's in a SH to trap speeds at 102 mph at 14.5. And yes before anyone says it I know 14.5 isn't a good time with those traps. I'll throw down some 13.90's slips before the years over. I've got some stickies, msd digital 6, purge, and bottle warmer being installed! Nitrous is the biggest bang for the buck period. Instant turbo basically at the flip of the switch and the foot to the floor. Also nitrous isn't everyday wear and tear on your car like F/I. Lots easier to go all motor N/A and add the juice. Makes for a better daily driver in my opinion. Don't have to tune the damn thing every two weeks to see if things are kosher!

nitrous better than forced induction?? I seriously doubt that. yeah it is cheaper, but I think a turbo or a blower would be much more efficient than a dry/ wet shot of gas

That's just my opinion! I'm staying high compression all motor h22a4. Darton's sleeving it, forged pistons and rods, a forged and balanced crank may be an option. Going with a crower top end also with stainless valves. You'd be able to spray a 125-150 shot and I've already got the fuel system done! I just think it would be less stress on the motor like this. F/I would be reliable but not if your foots in it all the time! I've got the 75 shot right now and I hardly ever use it. Might go to the track 2 times tops in a month. Nitrous is reliable and safe power unless you're an idiot! Necessary precautions need to be taken just as if you were F/I. Who knows people change their mind all the time about what they want to do with their cars. I may go low compression and add a supercharger and nitrous. Who knows!!

lol..okay dyno tuning every so often. and spraying nitrous doesn't put wear and tear on the motor...yeah. sure man. there is no opinion in this statement it is FACT. forced induction is safer than nitrous. I also don't see how driving a car hard with a turbo is any different than driving a N/A motor w/gas hard. c'mon we all know there are thousands of variables that causes a motor to break down and it'll happen sooner or later. there are always ways to screw up with gas

I and many others disagree with this overgeneralized statement. DC is ok if ur stock header is gone, but as for an "upgrade", I don't consider this one. It'll give you a little more high end power, but it'll bring ur mid-range power down to hell. It's decent if u need a new header fast, but they are far from excellent IMHO.
