Whats next? suggestions plz
Sup all, lately I have been wanting more out of my car performance wise. Just within the last month or so I have installed UPR LCA/UCA combo and got NT05 tires.. Raced a 2010 gt and spanked it hard..... Now I want more.
Ive been throwing around tons of ideas in my head and questioning my friends. But I wanted to get suggestions from people who know stangs. Where would your next step be? As Im pretty much maxed out on Bolt-Ons.
Ive thought about Nitrous, or saving for boost. Cams sound good, but I am scared of PTV issues. Just looking for that extra opinion thanks in advance!!!
Parts list is in sig minus what was mentioned earlier

only certain cams are having PTV issues (*cough hitech s2's cough*). cams arent worth the money IMO unless you have to have that lopey idle. if you pay a shop to install them and tune it, your gonna spend 2 grand or more for extra 30 hp and choppy exhaust.
nitrous is amazing, addicting, and cheap as hell to get started (few hundred bucks to get a used kit). it does suck refilling bottles and its not always there like a blower is.
blower will always be there but will take much more money to get going than a nitrous kit.
if its just for the track, nitrous will do you fine and bring one hell of a smile to your face. if you want some street power too, get the blower.

nitrous>all.
when nitrous hits it feels amazing. it's not a nice calm power gain like boost. it's instant power and it is addicting! no lag. MUCH cheaper. easier to install. and can easily max out a stock shortblock plus much more. plus, you can hide it fairly easy. wax a corvette then tell them you're bolt on only, and watch the expression on their face when you pop the hood.

.the **** is worse than crack. i hated the idea of nitrous until my buddy took me for a ride in his 98 cobra down the drag strip on the giggle gas. a very short time later i bought one of my buddys kits for 150$ off him (just the bottle, lines, and solenoids). got a bottle heater, WOT switch, window switch, and fuel pressure cutoff switch used off ebay for a couple hundred more. sold it when i had plans for the vortech. now that the vortech is gone i'm probably just gonna spray it again since its a hell of a lot easier to do and i dont street race anymore.

CAMS! I have HiTech StageII's and absolutely love them. They will really wake up your car.
Spray does hit hard, but it is NEVER paid for, so it will continue to cost you money in the future. Boost is nice if you can afford a nice kit and get a good tune.
