    chip vs nitrous

    thats why i was asking bc i only have enough to buy the nx kit or get it tuned. if i can run a 100shot then thats what i want to do, but if its going to blow something up i would rather get a good tune and it run a little better and faster and not blow up...normally the plan is to not blow...

    99 THROUGH 04 MOTOR SWAP

    i got a little over 100,000miles out of mine but it blew bc it liquid locked. youll get raised compresion from the pi heads. while you have the motor out i would rebuild it or look around for a short or long block rebuilt. i got my long block for a lil under $400, look on craigslist

    carburated 4.6?

    i saw this new intake manifold to carburate your 4.6 it says that just the intake and carb made like 70hp. now on summit the operating rang starts at 3500. would this be a good choice for a street/strip car? either way it sounds badas
