I have a stock 03 z and have been looking at headers and cai to get some extra hp. I'm serious considering just throwing some spray with a 100 shot on it as it seems to be the guarantee hp and more bang for my buck. By no means I'm a mechanic and would have a friend aka chevy vette tech do this. I'm I right in thinking this or is there a lot of other things I would need to add with adding nitorus?

initially nitrous is the biggest bang for your buck.....but nitrous is like coke - once you hit it, you gotta get more....the costs of nitrous add up quickly once you discover you like it.

Supercharge it and you won't have to buy a CAI.
