you dont list a header, are you still running stock? might be a good place to start.

you pretty much need to decide how much of a horsepower bug you really have. forced induction gets expensive quick, it gives a great output but you have to be really sure you want it, and use fuel management to make it last.

all motor can yield decent results, but youll be making it louder and less legally streetable the more you mod it, but i guess thats true whatever route you take.

Getting it to go really fast all motor is going to be pretty expensive especially with a b16a. If I were you I'd personally go forced induction. Specifically a turbocharger especially because you're planning on running it as a drag car.

i rather not put the nos to it, i just never really cared for that stuff mainly just a turbo or super charger if i could aford it. HOw much would it cost to bore my b16 and put all high performance pistons and stuff in it, shave the head and port and polish.

Its not NOS, its nitrous. NOS is a brand.
