Something with different stages of upgrades with a price and expected power gains would be nice. It would let those of us on a budget find where we want to be much easier.

ABSOLUTELY. You came in here and basically asked us on here what the easiest/cheapest/most cost effective way for you to be able to "pull" on your brothers Mach 1 and a friends Evo. Am I correct?
The most cost effective way would be 4.10s,offroad midpipe,short throw,100 wet shot and a tuner. And of course, sticky tires. We know that you have a short throw and sticky tires so you can cross those off your short list. On corral.net you can EASILY find a nice and complete wet-shot kit, and also an offroad X or H pipe of your choice for approx 80-120 dollars depending on location, condition, etc. The 4.10s/tuner combo you can find on American Muscle.
Then you come back and say that you are discontent with the top speed of 4th gear on 4.10s? How fast do you plan on going? 110 is not the top speed of 4.10s in 4th gear. You can check out CliffyK's website and learn all about gear ratios/tire sizes/top speeds per gear, etc.
Again, just trying to help here. Since you are semi "building" a nitrous car, you should consult with some of the guys on here that know the most about nitrous. 01GT46, Dimebag, JAYC <---Just to name a few. And if I recall correctly, 01GT46 ran 4.10s, Dimebag has either 4.10s or 4.30s and JayC has 4.30s on his car. If you have any doubt in my advice for a nitrous setup with gears, PM these guys because the three of them built kick *** f'n cars.
Once again, best of luck. For the record, I drive 79 miles to work and 79 miles home 5 days a week, and average 22-27mpg...on 4.10s.

22-27 MPG on 4.10s would be nice, what speed is that at?
Simple explanation: My car gets about 24 MPG as it sits with where and how it's driven, therefore I can afford to drive it twice as often as I could if it got 12 MPG. Not all of us can afford a car that runs on diamonds and have to make do with what we've got.
