Borrow some street slicks, and launch at 5k . You might break something though.

^^^^YEAH THIS IS NOT ADVISED.....but sure would be funny as hell!

H22 head on f22a block would prolly be good route for boost(great thread on here you can do some searchin for it)....all motor you should prolly look into a full H-series swap....just some ideas.

Are you retarded? I mean seriously, wtf is that supposed to mean?

TO the OP. Nitrous is defiantly the best bang for the buck. However, keep the jets on the low side. Before installing nitrous, its a good idea to do a compression check, and make sure that your fuel system is in good working order. For example, change your fuel filter, and make sure the injectors are clean, and that the fuel pump is workin at full potential. You don't want to detonate the engine, then your into more money, lol

Nitrous is an oxidizer. The air that goes into the engine has very little oxygen, so injecting oxygen into the combustion chamber increases the power output of the fuel/air mixture. The Nitrogen is neutral, and is used to stabilize the oxygen inside the tank and lines so it doesn't blow up in your car. If you try and add too much oxygen and do not compensate with the proper amount of gas, you will run in a lean condition, increase the heat in the engine, and potentially cause detonation and/or mechanical failure.

Thats why I suggested that the OP make sure that his motor is set up to handle nitrous. If you have clogged fuel injectors, or a restricted fuel filter, or a weak fuel pump/low fuel pressure you can run into a lean condition and potentially blow the motor. It is always wise to give your motor a check over before making any performance modifications to make sure that it can handle any additional power.

So you want cheap power. Ok, but it wont be reliable. Go peice together a junkyard turbo kit and run no fuel managment.
