Have you converted your car to Mass Air or is it Speed Density? What are the power goals you are looking for? How much are you putting down now?

havn't dyno'd yet, prob around 320... the best way to describe this car is a weekend warrior, does mainly driving on nice days etc... it is my daily driver but never sees rain or winter use... My goal... i dont really have a specific speed or HP number just faster. as you can see i have a MAF so i have converted. so yeah i was thinking nitrous because its power when i want it and not when i dont but we'll see what comes up here.

Sorry, I guess I skipped over the part about the MAF. I would go ahead and get those subframe connectors installed. Looks like you already have springs and shocks so control arms would be a good choice to get the power to the ground. Personally I don't like nitrous but like you said it is power when you want it. The engine still have the stock bottom end? How many miles on it? I'm planning on a turbo, but that's just me.

I would start with the stroker. How many miles does your shortblock have. A new shortblock will be cheaper than the turbo or supercharger. N02 would be cool but depending on how strong or tired your shortblock is, I would get a solid foundation first.

Now ya see im cheap...
I was thinking i might Stroke it and just freshen up the bottom end while i was in there. Is this an option or should i get a new BOSS block or DSS or something? alot of guys can get 500 on a stock block and i dont think i want to go that much.
