buy my whipple, injectors, efans, fuel pump, methanol injection kit wideband, gauges etc. This put me at 375ish rwhp. Then with the money you have left over, get some nitrous too.

Just saw the thread sorry for the delay.

My .02 Nitrous all the way baby.
I can get all four tires to chirp from a dig with my mods and a 100 shot. You wont be disapointed. Do a mild cam that has little something with nitorus(ie somethin with a little more exhaust) lt headers normally I would SW headers but they have been having some QC problems. Get you some AS&M headers the coaings arent the best but they are about 500 bucks cheaper. Full exhaust no gibson crap they arent worth it IMO. Its Westers not western. I have a Nelson tune and am very happy with it and they are a trusted sponsor too. In our heavy trucks you need a stall to get it going. I have a 3000 in mine and have had good luck with it. I will be going to a 3600 or so when I put the new engine so if you can wait about 2 months Ill have my tci up for sale. Nitrous is awesome and doesnt effect the daily driveability at all when its off. You can spray a 100 shot safely and not hurt your motor Im spraying a 155,000 mile 5.3 and so far have run 9 bottles through it in about 2 weeks(it would be more but Im back in AL and dont get off work in time to get it filled ). My vote would be for nitrous AS&M's full exhaust nelson tune cam and a nice stall that will be more than enough to get you moving look at my sig and times and that will give you an idea of what you are looking at. I believe with the nitrous I will be in the low 14s cause I beat a hemi ram that runs 14.4's all day long.

You obviously havent experienced a 4wd launch with nitrous.

Not sure how that will help your motor. J/K Man!
For future reference its N2O. That is the chemical formula for nitrous.
