i would say.. keep working suspension and breaks, or go f/i like 20004.6 suggested.

Since you already have nitrous, a break upgrade would probably be a good alternative if you don't want to go with some sort of supercharger or turbo set-up.

so many more things are possible...it all depends on what you want. cosmetic work? forged rotating assembly/blower? cams? brakes? suspension? sooo much more stuff to do. it all depends on if youre at where you want to be and if youre happy, like stangman said.

well i have to be putting down around as much as a supercharged car, but i have the instant torque hit of N2O. i thought about cams but i don't really like the hp/$ ratio. i don't really think suspension mods will make me that much faster since i'm already running m/t dr's. and i'll only upgrade my internals if my stock motor takes a dump. i'll upgrade my clutch for sure assoon as thestock unit goes out.

You won't make anything close to the numbers a FI car will with just your boltons + 100 shot.

I gained 140 WHP with just the blower kit, nothing else. Went from 280 to 420 WHP, and 410 FT/LBs.

I have never seen a nitrous car with similar mods (everything the same but the nitrous or blower) run as good of times with the same 60' and everything as a blower car.

Not to mention having it all the time. Imagine every time you put your foot into the gas the car is faster than it is the few times you turn on the juice.

Its either go that route or start building the motor for a bigger shot. You also have some suspension work you could do, but if your not real interested in track times its not really worth it to go all out on the suspension IMO.
