Default Need advice on next mod.

Finally got the extra cash and I am catching the mod bug again. I was really set on going nitrous but decided to hold off until next summer. I was thinking about upgrading my gears and possibly going with 4:10's and a bigger TB (75MM). Or going with the Trick Flow Specialties manifold and a 75 mm TB. With the mods that I have which way should I go? Looking to be a solid low 13 sec maybe even a high 12 with some DR's.

i suggest doing rear upper and lower control arms. since you already have good go list need to help it stick to the ground. and since you plan on doing nitrous i would start doing suspension upgrades.

Since you already have 3:73's and a 70mm TB I would skip upgrading those and go straight to the nitrous and get some sticky tires like whitefox suggested.

You can drive stickys on the street they just dont have any traction at all in weather conditions such as rain.

I agree that you shouldn't mess with the TB or gears. The NX plate kit would be the best upgrade for you along with a set of good dr's.
