Cam/Intake or NOS? What to do?

Personaly, I think the answer to your question is how many miles are on your shortblock? Nitrous doesnt build up like a turbo or s/c, its an instant 150 hp slamming your shortblock, and if you havent done anything to reinforce your connecting rods such as stronger bolts. You might just throw a rod. Fords rod bolts tend to be weak. You are already well past your hp per cubic inch mark. I say if you want to keep using that shortblock stay naturaly aspirated. Besides, Your car is awesome and people will lose respect when they see that you are squeezing. Its like all they see is the bottle or something, and your car is WAAY more than that. I was considering a 100 wet shot myself. But I dont have the car you do. Mines not near as mean. I need juice just to keep up

Good luck and keep me informed.
