Default opinions N20, lcd monitor, truck payment?

Ive wanted an LCD monitor for a while but the one I have works fine. Should I buy the monitor, a 100 shot of N20 or put the money toward the principal on the truck? I know what I should do but I rarely do that.

who thinks the 60e with a shift kit will hold up to low 8's in a 6k lb truck

I know its not fun but putting more on the principal of your truck will save you more money in the long run. The 60e would make it a while with a hd2 shift kit and servos should be alright depends on how many miles you have currently and what state it is in. If you do go the nitrous route get a window switch or your clutches will be gone in no time. I would also get a progressive controller to keep from shocking the **** out of the tranny with the nitrous. Payment is better IMO, it will let you have a paid off truck sooner and really let you ahve money to play with but Im dumb like that I guess.

No need for a new monitor, one less payment a couple years from now (if you don't trade it in) or a 100 shot of fun. No brainer for me. If you only owed a couple grand on it or had enough to get you close to the payoff then principle would be a good choice.
However, if your like me and still owe 15-20K SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY!

I owe a little under 15k on it, I havent even had it a year and Ive paid off over 5k on it and spent way too much on mods. I just dont want to blow it up and still owe on it, that would suck.
