Exhaust - Off Road X-pipe

Nitrous 100 shot

The intake and exhaust is definitely a good choice. However, if you have plans to do the Supercharger I think you should skip on the Nitrous and do a nice heads/cam package to go with the blower. This way you could lower the compression ratio slightly, upgrade the valvetrain and grab an extra 50-60rwhp outa the Supercharger.

I agree. Do the head/cam. You'll pick up power plus you could beef up the internals for the blower.

biggest gains for bolt-ons would be air intake/catback exhaust and an under-drive pulley. $1500-1800 for 30-33 rwhp.
