Decision Time!!

So guys, in late June I'll be coming into about $1000. My question is, do I go with CAI and Stage 2, or CAI and ZEX? I know Zex would be the biggest noticeable gain, but I love the s/c scream from the pulley upgrade. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm completely stock as of now, and am thinking of (let the flaming begin) welding in a bassani muffler. I can get it done for cheap so if I don't like it I'll just reweld the stocker. Thanks guys!

CAI and Stage 2....You will get most of the power that the zex kit would produce but you wouldn't have to fill it up everytime you use it.

go stage 2...nitrous can be safe, but not safe enough imo. It's not worth chancing because you will get real good gains from both and zex isn't as safe.

Get a 2.8" pulley, bigger injectors and a HPTuners tune.

i think your question should be do you want a CAI and a Stage II, OR a smaller pully, bigger injectors, and an HPTuners custom tune. if you can avoid nitrous and get the same affect, do it.

do u guys think a custum HPTuners tune would be much better than a stageII flash? .... im trying to decide if it's worth it myself.

well a custom tune is always better if it is a good tuner doing it, but i don't know if it would make that much of a difference.
