Mod Brainstorming...what next

Well in my signature all of my mods are listed, I am thinking what I want to do next. Things I am thinking about are nitrous/supercharger/or turbo. If I go nitrous I am thinking about the harris speedworks kit. As far as s/c goes I am thinking of a procharger, and then if i got with a turbo, i was thinking of doing a big rear mount like a t70 custom kit. See the thing is, it is a daily driver for the most part but I am still wanting more power. Most likely it will be my last go fast mod whatever I do. I am kind of against doing heads because of the hp for dollar value, I have thought gears to but dont wanna lose the gas mileage anymore than what i have, give me your thoughts keep in mind I miss boost I came for a 97 grand prix gtp that was built up at one point...let me know your thoughts

Thanks!

Depends on how you want the power to come on and how often. Nitrous is a cheap way to go fast but it is only around when the bottle is filled.

Also you need to decide what HP you think you will be happy with. If you want to stay on the stock block just keep it below 600rwhp and with a good tune you should be fine. Most of the FI options will get you to the 600rwhp and well beyond, and these are all off the shelf kits.

I had the Gen TTr twin turbo kit and I loved the sound and the way it drove. My buddy has a maggie and it is fun as well. I currently am back to stock block heads cam + nitrous and at the track it is a 10sec car and off the bottle it is low 12s.

Here is a cool vid skip to about 1.50min in if your in a hurry lol.

NOS sucks... I had it on a few cars and it can be fun... But it will always be empty, if the place fills it correct, they will chill the bottle first and this can take 2-3 hours.

You want something that is always on tap. With all the supercharger systems out for this car. I'd just go with one of them unless you wanna get into custom stuff.
