$1000 to spend on motor ne suggestions

[ultraflo]

You're probably going to start to see a pattern with this post...

You need NOS dude!!!
(refer to picture from above post (I love that pic!!))

I would get a wet nitrous kit and an off road hpipe (so when you fry your first head gasket you don't have to worry about your cats getting damaged/plugged up if/when antifreeze enters your exhaust), plus the extra hp and sound is a benefit also.

That should get you close to $1000.

If you decide on the nitrous (many companies, many choices) it's recommended you have a purge valve, and a bottle heater (unless where you live is hot/warm at all times), and a nitrous pressure gauge. Also, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and aftermarket pump are highly recommended for anything over a 75hp shot. (as far as reliability goes, I've been greedy and paid the price a few times)

There's more than one way to skin a cat, remember...

You could go another route...
Find some used parts; a set of heads and intake (mentioned above) and a decent camshaft...

That is, if you should decide nitrous isn't for you.

Good Luck on your decision!

"He's got enough NOS to blow himself up!" Dumbf*ck-ski!
I cringe at every mention of that flic!!
All in good humor...
