Default I FEEL SLOW!!!

I tell you what guys...No matter what I do with my cars, I always feel kind of slow in them. I had a 2001 v6 mustang that I did quite a few mods to, and upgraded to a 2005 gt. I now have long tube headers, x o/r midpipe, intake, throttle body spacer, and might get a tune tomorrow. The only thing is I know the tune won't give me what I'm looking for. I just really wish my car was faster just like everyone else. I have two questions.

1. Is nitrous safe? I mean...I really would rather not go with it, but it is always the best bang for your buck from what it seems.
2. I would love a supercharger, but at the same time it seems so damn expensive!

What do you all feel like I should do. It's driving me nuts, cause it seems like I almost have an obsession of getting the car quick. I pretty much know all the basic bolt ons and stuff that will help, but I want the car to put my *** in the trunk! lol not just in the seat. Thanks!

You need to drink Decaf coffee sometimes I didnt realize how doggie my stock 06 GT stick was until I tuned it with a Brenspeed 92 tune with a CAI and exhausts.
