Default Most power for 1000 dollars??

Ok i bought a computer so no more supercharger but i saved about 1000 dollars for some performance. What will make my truck the fastest for 1000 dollars. Im guessing a cam is one of them please include installation prices in your feedback. And how much does it cost to have someone port and polish your heads. I was thinking maybe cam/springs/and roller rockers. And then true duals after about 2 more paychecks let me know people.

Nitrous is the cheapest way to go fast.Ported heads will cost about $1400 and a cam with valvesprings about $650.You can sell your stock heads to offset some of the cost about $250,but you'll probably need that for gaskets tools and other expenses that seem to pop up.You'll need to budget about $2100 if you do the work your self.

Take a ride in a nitrous fed truck and you will be hooked I promise. Living in SA you should be able to get Allen to hook oyu up with a ride in someones truck.
