50hp Wet shot of NOS...its cheap..pretty safe if you dont go nuts with it..and its the most power youll get for the money.You can find a used nos kit for around 300 bucks give or take..Thats all i paid for a kit i had.Nothing else will get you that kind of power that you can just bolt on.

Um a turbo kit will add quite a good amount of power for not that much money.

Treadstone has a pretty damn decent kit for $1900. It's mostly turbonetics parts. Buy yourself a set of injectors and a fuel pump, and call it a day.

True, but boost doesn't require costly refils, and it's street legal.

I feel ya, I ran a zex kit for a couple of years and its not so much the cost of the refills, but how much of a pain in the *** it is to go it refilled...Now ive gone to the darkside of forced induction and Ill never go back....but back on topic he was asking about bang for the buck bolt-ons, I dont really consider a turbo kit a bolt on application.... headers, CAI, Intake manifold, etc dont really do **** if its the only things done to the car...nitrous on the other hand is an instant noticable gain that is really there

Does nitrous even matter if its legal or not. chances are if your using a bottle your racing on the street so what the f@@k does it matter if you have a bottle your already screwed unless you play your cards and use that bottle to run. most cops are shitty drivers anyway.
