I would'nt get juice unless you don't care about your car lasting. Keep saving and get forged pistons/rods if you really want juice. Otherwise do a custom turbo setup and keep the pressure low until you have the interior built up. I doubt cams will do that much for you.

im tired of hearing u newbs sayin dont' get nawwws yo its gonna blow ur motor blah blah...if u run nitrous right your car will last just as long as any other fi or na motor just as long as u take care of it...most the horror stories of n2o come from user error or bad installs.

Depends on what you want. Increased top end and loss of low end? 4-1. JDM header all the way.

Right now... more bottom end. hehehe... it has no bottom end... after i put in my skunk2 intake manifold, i lost lots of bottom end. I would like to get a jdm 4-1 header, but i would need to do my cams also to make it work right. I did **** up by putting in the intake manifold. Well, I've pretty much made up my mind on getting direct port. Anyone know of one for sale??? i'll spend around 450 to 500 on it.

Peace

save another $600 and buy a Hytech Header. I have on on my Si and the thing makes incredible better acceleration. Messing around on the street and dusted a guy who had intake jdm R header and some other goodies. High quality and major power gains NA style. Right around 20hp and 18 ftlbs throuhout the entire rpm band. nothing beats it...nothing

are you saying that your headers alone gave 20 hp?

bah... bro IMO -- get a header and finish opening up your exhaust.... save a little more money and pick up a v-afc or something to go along with it.

Get Zex cams and an ACT 4 or 6 puck clutch.....then save some $ for purple haze. Just my thoughts.
