lets see...........

decent blower setup..............$5k. Your gonna need at least 8psi to run in front of the crowd

turbo............havent got one that works right yet, but they have a couple of kits that will take your money

NA..............heads/intake/cam $3k give or take. Unless you spend the bills, will come up way short in the power department

NO2.............1.5k if you want a good setup

power output, basically a wash. The NA is safer, but weaker. The blower has the potential to kill anything (including your motor)
Nitrous is a quick way to owning a new 383/396.

What have we learned kids? Speed cost money, how fast do you want to go.

Bottom line (I'm sure someone will disagree with this) the fastest cars, are all juiced. But not on juice alone. They all have big balled motors running with it. Nitrous should be the icing on the cake, not the cake. If your car is only strong on the bottle, you have issues.

I agree Rob, NOS is not harder on your motor than a supercharger or turbo, NOS is on maybe 5% of the time, and a supercharger is on 100% of the time. A 12 psi kit would give you 145 more hp or so ALL the time, NOS 150 shot is just when you need it for a few seconds or so. As long as you have the fuel and spark you need for the NOS, you should have no problems.

I wasn't offended or hurt in any way by the stuff said on this site. It's difficult for me to tell the serious answers from the bs. Especially if its from someone I've never met. You guys know a lot more than me, but I am trying to learn.

Just one more thing. I'm easily satisfied with noticeable power gains. I'm also puting a cam on her so really the only time I'll run the nos is when I'm racing you guys.

The clutch still slips. It only seems to do it under low RPMs. When I get on it in the power range, It seems to be fine. I already called SPEC and the 3 stage clutch is $529. It can hold 680 rear wheel hp! The stage 2 is $449 and can hold 450 rear wheel hp. I'm ordering one on the 1st.

If you can hold out, wait for another gp. You just missed the last one, and could have got the stage III for the stage II price.

Are you kidding? DAMN!!! How often do they have them? As long as I don't do any more burnouts, I think the thing will last 6 months or so. But I got them mods comming.

After seeing the mess a clutch can make if I were you I would get one asap. I'm honestly a very lucky individual. If my clutch would have shattered anymore than It did I could be looking at some very broken stuff. The spec clutch is the one I would go with. If I didn't have such a big daycare bill I would have bought one myself. If you get one and you need help on installation drop me an e-mail and I'll do it for you.

I will update the sig i just need to think of something to put there. What I was thinking of putting there is (96 green Z28 for sale best offer and it's yours) Just kidding I should be rolling at the mid of next week. The only thing I'm waiting on is a micromoter and a spring compressor for the valve springs. I'm going to put a little rumble in my cars diet.
