VAFC - $200
Cam Gears - $150
High Flow cat - $150
single fogger wet kit (i.e. 55 shot zex or NX)- $400 + 10lbs N2O @ $4/lb = $40

total - $1970.00

I got a question. I've been searching and looking into get a direct port nitrous kit. Could I run a 100 shot with a stock block and maybe some sleeves? Taking in the account that I would be slow without the nitrous but I like to be able to control it. like going on trips or driving to and from work I'm not using any forced induction which means better gas mileage. However I know I could get a turbo and just turn the boost down, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much on a set up. Or what if I get the direct port, some cams valve springs and retainers, and some sleeves. Can I still run on stock pistons and rods.... It would be the same as running on a JRSC or a turbonetics hybrid T3/t04 on stock Psi. Let me know what you guys think
