Default Vote: Best way to spend $1400

Lets say I wanted to spend$1400 for my 04 gt auto- which way should I go? I'm a street/strip kind of person.

a) Nitrous with all the trimmings
b) New heads
c) Headers + hpipe

what do you have so far? I also have an auto and the best bang for the buck i saw was gears and exhaust...the Nitrous will give you the most "bang" but i like having power all the time and for the fact that its like $70 bucks around here to fill a bottle

Nitrous sounds good, but I'm afraid that I could blow up my motor. I just bought this in december and still owe $20k on it so I don't want a pretty paperweight.

What is F/I?

edit: lol nvm, forced induction I got it. I didn't really want to spend 4.5k+ on a mod, because if I spend that, I should have just bought a cobra in the first place.

mongoose kit for 3800 bucks...vortech blower and all the trimmings.........but if thats not a route you want, i would say go with the Lt's and midpipe.....heads and cams or anythign like that are useless to you without a full exhaust...a full exhaust is the best base to work up from
