get some high comp. pistons. for use with nitrous, go with forged pistons and rods.

D16Z6 block, Y8 head, Cam, I/H/E + 55 shot should easily net you a low 14 with traction.

u dont need to get forged pistons for 55 shot. a thinner head gasket, head shaved, or high c/r pistons any thing for a little comp. retard your timing a little it runs better with nitrous

start with the heads try http://www.gude.com for around 1400.00
you can get your heads port and polished, cams,throttlebody,and manifold,and chip. Oh yeah get a cam gear to retard the timing and let gude know that you will
be running nos. they may change your cam profile and the timing on the chip so your engine won't detonate. Also look at changing you pressure regulator (for the nos) the heads should add around 56 h.p. without nos.
