Need more power!!!!
What do you guy's think is the best mod for my 95. It has about 50K on it now and I want to do some mods. I cant decide on a supercharger or heads, cam intake and exaust. What will be the best bang for the buck and still be the every weekend type driver?

You can go either way really. Heads and cam would probably be a little cheaper. Either one has the potential to make around 400 to the wheels. Nitrous is the best bang for the buck.

Both. All of the above. The sky is the limit. By "sky" I mean the amount of money you are willing and able to spend. If I could afford a supercharged 396 LT1 with a bulletproof 700r4 and a tubular back half with 4 link 9", that's what I'd be driving. But since I don't have the funds for that, I had to settle for a cam & some supporting bolt-ons. I'm not disappointed. People on here are probably tired of hearing how pleased I am with my car. Sunday I drove it 130 miles to the track, ran low 12s all day long (literally, 8 passes from 10am-5pm) and then drove it 130 miles home.

Just curious here, since I am in the process of buying a '93 and would like to know more about my options...
When you say heads, cam, and exhaust. Do you mean having the heads machined or completely new heads?

It depends if you want. To maintain the factory looks, you can have the factory heads milled, ported and polished or simply buy a set of after market heads of which there are several to choose depending on what you are looking to accomplish.
