Cam for real time all around power. You can always do the wet kit next

I would go with the cam and leave nitrous for last, looks like you still need to work on building your tranny and replacing that g80 with a better unit to handle more power which you'll have to do sooner or later. Nitrous will get you there sooner along with $$ spent fillling bottles along the way. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks to all who voiced their opinions. I do like the idea of having the added power all the time. I will more than likely get the cam swap done and then give up or get the power adder.
