Default What next?

I've had the Mustang in storage for the past yearbecause I haven't had a safe place to park it while I was schooland I finally have it back out. The mod bug went away for a little bit but now it is back more than ever. Right now I am looking at a few different options (in no specific order):
-3.73 or 3.90gears
-5R55 Street Fighter Torque Converter 3,000 stall - http://www.brenspeed.com/456000.html
-Comp Cams 3v NSR Cam set - http://www.brenspeed.com/127200.html
-Zex Wet Nitrous System 75-125hp Shot - http://www.brenspeed.com/82034.html

As you can see from my sig, I'm mildly modded and don't plan on doing a large amount for quite some timewhich would work for the cam set. However, I do drive an auto so a TC and/orgearswould be a huge help for me. I've always been worried about nitrous and the effects it could have on the engine but the cheap power (especially on my college budget) is very tempting. What do you guys think? Or do you have any other ideas about what I should do?

Cams will run over 1k w/ install, I personally would say to make a savings account and save up for a S/Cer.

I thought about that, however, by the time I have the money saved up for that I will have graduated. So, I'm just trying to get the small stuff that I can afford out of the way now.

If you are going to supercharge then I would not get the nitrous.
And I think different cams have different effects on N/A vs FI cars, so becareful what you choose. Also from what I hear people say that shorter gearsare not the best combination with a supercharger when it come to traction. I'd go with the TC first! Then look into your next choice.

But if I remember correctly a lot of people have to change their TCI to a different stall if the do certain mods like a SCer or cams. So if you plan on S/Cing some day maybe you should look into the options a little further.

No, TCI street fighter in my opinion is an amazing mod. It dropped .3 off my E/T... I also know a guy on the forums who I went on a couple of cruises with who has a Vortech pushing I believe 480 to the wheels. He runs the TCI street fighter. He had Brenspeed do the install/tune on the supercharger. I say go with a TCI street fighter. I would also do the gears... and no nitrous. (if your going to supercharge)

I would do gears and a set of dr tires. Maybe you should even do dr b4 the tc. I would think a combo of gears,tc,dr tires would be a sick set up.

also, im w/ you w/ the cams...I always think my car should sound like that anyway being that its a muscle car.
