Default Is It worth it!???

Hey Guys, I know that a lot of people get flamed for asking opinions in here, but I just need some advice and maybe a few opinions....heres my situation...I have a 95 EG coupe, and a stock motor with all the bolt-ons (I-H-E, plugs, plug wires, chipped ecu, short shifter, street/strip clutch) but have the need for more power!! and I'm not sure what to do next....should I spend some more money and get a new cam, and any other goddies or save for the next year and get a swap? Im going to get the swap in a year regardless...so should I wait or buy the cam and any other goddies y'all think will help, and then sell them when i get the swap...??? I'm so confused right now... I appreciate any and all help!

Nitrous. Its cheap as hell ($250-$300 for a used dry kit), easy to install and it will not only give you a lot more power then a set of d-series cams but you'll be able to transfer it over to your next engine when you do the swap. Or you could just sell it and get most of your money back. Thats my advice, and before you dismiss it so easily (like most people do when they here someone mention nitrous) I would seriously consider the temporary and affordable benefits it could give you.
