pretty sure you do need a tune for stage one cams but id say go nitrous. probly gona cost around the same price as cams but obviously youll get more horse out of it. do cams later

im untuned as of right now. stage 1 n/a cams. id say do the cams instead of nitrous the sound is worth it and you will feel a difference with the cams.

i'd say do cams because you have the power all the time (even though its not as much as the nitrous)and the sound is awesome.

Nitrous FTW! Unless you road raced all day and go to the track constantly, you dont need the power all the time! You can get a everything you need for a good, safe nitrous setup includingdyno tunning, and anxcal set for an/a and nitrous tune for roughly around 1500-1700. Do it and believe me you'll thank me! You have a full exhaust which should sound pretty good! I'd rather have a car that sounds good and runs nice, and fast then a car that just sounds good!

Get some cams, I did nitrous for a while and it is fun. But theres something about not having the power all the time, its like two seperate cars, its kinda lame. I just took my entire system off my car, which is for sale by the way, pm if your interested. I'm leaning towards some cams or a better suspension set-up. Go for the cams man.
