Default cams, nitrous, or slicks

i cant decide what to get...there all within the same price rance....i figure i can get cams for about 1200 installed, i could get a nx system for about 550$ and the guy who does my work said he would install it, tune it and mount a window switch for about 600$, or i could get slicks with the weld rims and skinnies up front for around 1200$...my prices might b off but anyway let me know what you guys think....obviuosly nitrous is going to take the most time off my 1/4 but cams sound awesome and i would like to see what my car can do with slicks and just bolt ons

cams = if you want the sound of a cammed car, nitrous if you run the 1/4 mile every now and then and wanna go fast, slicks if your tires are bald and you actually think that better traction will help your N/A 4.6 shave time off of the 1/4 mile (which it will, but not enough until ur F/I) go nitrous or cams.
