You got my vote. Go ahead and do it. Anyone can take a V8 and run 13s or 12s. But a V6 or inline 4 that can do it is cooler. Plus youll have the performance of a V8 without the insurance. Youll have some V8 guys worried and give them a reason to get more mods.

Awesome. Major props to you for that. If your car is an SN-95, I would suggest that you do to t-bird supercharger swap too. It's a big project, but doesn't cost too much, and yields great results.

oo ic well i think nitrous would be the way to go in my case well i geuss anyway is the way to go u just hafta to build it to suit your type of induction correct? and i think in the long run nitrous would be cheaper and better on the motor if i dont get to spray crazy your thoughts on that?

Well I dont recommend it but Ive heard of people running 125 shots on stock internals. I wouldnt recommend running that much without a good tune. You can safely run 50-75 shot though. I not an expert on nitrous and never used it. Just trying to help on what I know.

FI will be better on the motor (granted that you have forged internals) than nitrous, IMO. You shouldn't go over a 50 shot with the nitrous either. I say go forged internals and the t-bird swap like I was talking. You can do it for ~$1000 or less if you can find a whole car.
