Cams would give you some extra power, and a nice sound, but you will be disappointed with the power return on investment. The problem with cams is that you could really only get the most benefit from a stage 1 cam, the stock motor cannot spin fast enough to get all the benefits of the stage 2 & 3 cams.

I'm not real sure, but there are a few guys on here running a 100 shot on their cars, they'll probably chime in eventually. If I had to guess, I would say you would get around 350 or so to the tires with a 100 shot, but again, I'm not positive.

Man, 350 seems like its really worth it lol. But I would really hate to ruin my engine, but I would only spray it like once in a blue moon.

if you do happen to go the nitrous route, your next step should be suspension work cuz you are going to spin like a mo fo, do you still have stock tires?
