What have you done so far ? If stock, work on air in and air out first. ( intake & exhaust )

Intake / Exhaust first mods. Work on airflow and then go from there.

Do the nitrous, I always appreciate a little rookie explosion
...just kidding...avoid that shit. Go headers.

200 shot with no tune. You engine will sound amazing for the 5 seconds you spray it and it goes BOOM

I agree with headers as the first move, but I would imagine you will not see much out of them without a tune. You will get a bunch out of nitrous, and if done correctly, is very safe to use.

Just saw your a fellow GA guy. I would go with the headers and any necessary upgrades to the tune first, then go after the bottle. Again, don't be scared of it!

I was thinking headers then cam then Dino tune does this sound like a solid plan? I know you guys have been down this road I'm trying to the right thing in the right order for my car

I am old school, but a cam and head work will help a ton, and then a tune for that. These mods may require additional changes (like bigger injectors or something...someone else will have to guide you there). That sounds like the plan we are going to use once we exceed our warranty. Just out of curiosity, home many lbs/hr of fuel can the stock injectors deliver? Does anyone know?
