vt stage 1 cams or 4.10 gears first. I want my car to feel like it has more tq. Which would I feel the most? I will eventually do both but this is going to be my xmas present to myself from my wife.

flip a coin. if it were me i would do cams because ull get a little bit of performance with a decent idle...but then again i did gears first on my car and no regrets so far. either or is a good choice

explain to me how juice is the best bang for the buck, unless you mean it makes your motor go bang the quickest out of all the FI options.

because you can get just a big of a gain from a 100-125 nitrous shot for $499 as you would for a 10psi supercharger at $2999

but did you forget about refilling the bottle and always having to hit that dern switch. not mention that once a blowers on its on. the boost is always there. it doesnt keep askin for money so that it can make boost.

get a quote from superchargersonline.com for a vortech kit. it's not hard to find a vortech for 3 grand.


but did you forget about refilling the bottle and always having to hit that dern switch. not mention that once a blowers on its on. the boost is always there. it doesnt keep askin for money so that it can make boost.
did you forget it doesn't cost much of anything to refill? the juice also lasts quite awhile. and what switch? ok, you hit 1 switch to arm it, wow, huge deal. otherwise it acts just as a centrifugal supercharger would. starts automatically spraying at about 3k rpm, just as a centri starts to build boost at 3k, but isn't at max boost until almost redline though. so the juice gives you even more power faster.
