Hmm not sure on that but if it could I would run a blower , as long as your car has been maintained properly I dont see why it would be a bad ideal. If not I would run some better cams for sure , CMS / COMP or Hitech.

You could do nitrous and cams for the price of a blower. I have the juice, and will be doing cams soon. Your car will be fine with a 100 shot.

Unless i missed it, i didn't see gears in your sig? If that's so, i'd get them first.

he has them, says "373s"

I would go nitrous and cams, as long as you have maintained the car and everything is in smooth running order you'll be fine.

Hell I'm adding a blower to my car with 140k on the clock lol. You just have to have a good tune

You could get LTs and or a TB/Plenum if you want to keep it cheap. Then add a 100 shot and you would be around 360/425ish on the spray. Cams would also be a good addition.

you gonna be happy with something you can only use a few times before you run out and have to refill over and over? its great for track use but its not there when ever you want, i atleast would have went the cam route if you couldnt afford a blower... just my 2cents man. either way you have a nice lookin car and you will have fun
