What's the next step? :D
So far I have the blackwing intake, kooks headers, borla exhausts, 3.42 differential, and the car is tuned. Where do I go from here? I don't want to jump into putting in a supercharger before the tranny is built and the engine is forged (looking at having xtreme build an LS2) but before I do that I'm wondering what I can do to get more power with what I have already 
Theres almost 80,000 miles on the car.

If you're sure you want a blower I'd do that next and start saving to forge the motor. I ran around on 600 rwhp for about a year without a built tranny so I think you'd be fine.
If you do your own work you could get heads and a blower cam now, otherwise you'll be paying for labor twice.

I understand how Nitrous works chemically, what I dont fully get is does it get used all the time...and I just refill the bottle when its empty or is it really like in the movies where I save it until I want to go a million miles and hour and press the button...lol.
Is there anything besides a blower I could do, I really do want to build the LS2 forged and get the tranny built before I put that on, plus mines already at 80k miles so I figure i'd have fun with it until probly 120-150k miles and then put the new motor in.
