RE: What to do with 500 bones ???
I'll check out nx, they seem pretty damn repuitible. And about advanced auto only carrying nos is prolly true.
So i guess nitrous will be after suspension, cuz i know i wont be able to get those ponys to the ground, especially with nitrous.

My bad....if you have BBK's then don't get new springs. Are you running the stock shocks/struts? If so, you should definitely upgrade those. Tokico HP's are great shocks for the money.

I already have good credit, and i dotn wanna ruin that while i'm young. I've only been late on 1 car payment and 1 credit car payment. And i dont plan on letting more be late than that.
I'm definatly gonna do suspension. 500 will be a good start. You think i should change those springs ? They are BBK.
And anyone know of a strut tower brace that will fit with a trickflow street intake ?

Can most of the stuff be put on myself ? Or does some need welded ?

Well, I would save your money for the tune after the nitrous is installed. And only that after suspension is worked up a little bit.

True.....It really depends what i'm gonna do with life. If i move to texas i'll get it dynoed without nitrous. If i dont, i'll wait for the nitrous and get it tuned in the spring. But i still wanna get the suspension on before the n20.

+1 I agree... no matter what you choose with the nitrous & tune the suspension should come first. And its a good idea to get your car tuned with the nitrous too just to be safe. Alot of guys wont get it tuned until they hit the 100hp (shot) mark but I would to be on the safe side.

Yea, i'll definatly get it retuned with nitrous when that comes, depending on my situation. Most shops retune for pretty cheap if you got your car tuned there before. I'll have to find out.

I want to really bad, but my girlfriend is stuck in an apartment lease. I'm sure we can get out of it. If you kicked out then you dont have to pay for the rest of the time you were supposed to be there. And i like to party loudly, so that might be in order sometime soon 
My dad lives down there too. Its right outside of houston, its called katy, bout 20 minutes west of houston.
