Default got gears. whats the next best bang for your buck

my thoughts were n2o would give best bang for the money but its not there 100 % of the time and you have to keep filling the bottle

say if you had $600 i thought that might buy a set of cams or a cheap set of long tube headers and matching midpipe. which would u feel the most just driving around town?

I would do the long tubes and mid pipe first. The cams won't really open up (in sound and power) until you do this first.

I run nitrous, and if you're not greedy with the power, it will last you longer than you might think on the street.

Just wondering, how long will a 10 lb bottle of N2O last?

I'm told that a 100 shot uses about 1 pound of n20 for every 10 seconds of use... so roughly 100 seconds of consecutive use on a 10 lb bottle.

If i'm playing with someone on the street, i'm most likely not spraying all 4 gears, so it really does last a while.

I'd have to agree with the Longtubes and Matching Mid Pipe. You could probably get BBK ceramics and matching H or X for a little over $600

LTs first, spray later

and n2o lasts a while. my 10lb bottle lasts longer than i thought it would, plus its not expensive to refill it
