yes listen to most of it....gears/longtubes/then tune after the long tubes/ suspension/nos but if you have money up front, do the LTs and the nos and try tuning it all at once, probebly save you money.

not all that unreasonable lol

But it all depends on what your final goal is for the car.

If you are going to start using the bottle check out some of the custom nitrous oxide lower intake manifolds. They make some that have places for the nozzles right next to each injector. You will have to run a wet shot to use it but why would you run anything else?

On a serious non spray note: Go F/I... so worth it. You can't beat the feeling of someone kicking your car in the **** around 3.5-4k rpms.

I thought nitrous was forced induction? You want to talk about "the feeling of someone kicking your car in the ****." You can't beat the feeling of 500+ ft lbs. of instant torque. Try that with a blower.

Intake manifolds are great, but are a waste of money (unless you have money to burn) if you're looking at a small shot of juice.

Also, on smaller applications, a dry shot and wet shot are both equally as good when setup correctly.

And tuned right...but yea, any f/i, including nitrous, is gonna come at a risk. I'd say unless you wanna put the money in your car to do it right, just do the longtubes and gears for right now and maybe tb/plenum and then just start saving for the supercharger.

I guess Nitrous is technically forced induction because the shot is pressurized and being fed into the motor after the MAF (wet shot that is). And in my opinion you can't beat the feeling of 500+ ft/lb of all the time torque. Try that with a shot of nitrous. :P lol jk man

Really though, that stuff can be dangerous and hard on your motor, not that a blower isn't, but at least it is constant. Not to mention you don't run out of juice with a blower.

Get some good LTs, gears, a nice tune... but don't forget all that hsp and torque does ya noooo good if you can't control it... lowering springs are cheap, maybe look into shocks/struts or control arms, it really all depends on what you intend to use the car for

If you are making 500ft/lbs of torque with a blower you will be making 550+ HP which would be too much for the stock bottom end. I agree with you, Nitrous can be tougher while your'e spraying but.......it's not constant whereas a blower is
