Default four grand

Hello, I need a little advice. I am currently trying to decide what my next mod will be and i am considering a few options. Before you post your suggestion please DO NOT say: "save your money for a supercharger". I am considering this option too but i am reluctant to fork over 7 grand for it. So let me know what ya'll would do to MY CAR with four grand.

My thoughts: 1. gears + pulleys + upper/lower control arms + subframe conectors
2. Cams + tuner + pulleys
3. Heads + tuner
4. Nitrous + tuner

These are just a few thoughts that i had. Which do you think would give me the most bang for my buck? Is there anything else that you would do differently?

I'm not sure where you go the idea that a s/c kit is going to cost you $7k. Check this out s/c kit

There's also this Supercharger. Cheap and if you have mechanical knowledge can be done.

When I purchased mine I also went the used route and got the whole thing for $1,700. Install isn't to bad, just get a couple buddies and a case of beer and make a weekend out of it.

You can get a Vortech S/C and a forged bottom end for $7 grand. You can get the mongoose kit from MPH shipped to your door for under $4000.

thx for the responses. Problem is i don't have very much mech knowledge so doing it myself is not an option. So I figure with install and dyno and everything it would cost at least another g. I'm gonna look into this build your own kit thing tho.
