Default Heads or Nitrous...

So, I had my 4.10's installed last week. The car feels so much better. My original plan was to throw on a 100 shot. I have a set of comp 270's that are going to be installed soon. Should I bother installing the cams on the stock motor with a 100 shot? My 2nd thought is to just buy some 2v heads to use with the comp 270's, while I grab a 4.6 shortblock to have built to handle the 100+ shot and swap the top end over down the road. I don't want to take the time with the cams and nitrous if I'm just going to be creating a ticking time bomb. Opinions?

Your car should hold up fine the way it is for a 100 shot, I even heard some people go up to 125, but on a stock motor I wouldnt suggest anything bigger than that.....just get a good tune and you will be set!

I'd go with the heads, but that's just my opinion. I'm all about what actual motor can do versus nitrous and FI.

Yeah, i'm aware of my limitations of N/A on a 2v. I should have got a 4v, but then I should have got a Terminator, but then I should have got a GT500, but then I should have got a Ford GT. It goes on, so, i'm sticking with my 2v since I'm not trying to break world records. Just out to have my own fun.
