Basic reading comprehension. Someone already stated gears. He already has exhaust. And if you'll notice, the first thing I said was shifter. He is looking for cheap and easy mods. Neither nitrous nor supercharger is cheap OR easy. Chips programmed correctly will give you better performance from the parts you have. The computer is set to run at a factory stock condition, and not very well at that. A chip will tweak the settings to gain the latent power in the engine. Notice I said chip AFTER everything else is in place?</P>


Also, it is N2O. That's O, as in the letter. There are a few people here who keep posting n20. I'm not sure what n20 is, but I'm pretty damned sure it ain't good for performance.</P>

Like frostymug said, a chip will set everything in place. The best thing to do is go to a dyno and get a chip custom burned for your application. The jet, diablo sport, and all other chips are just a basic program. Otherwise a waste of money from what I hear. Get your custom burned.
