no, i consider that quick, i think 11's and up are fast. and as a dd it ain't too much until you can't get traction or you gotta luanch to keep from stalling.

well what do you think about running stage 1 cams instead of stage 2. would that affect my 1/4 greatly. figure i can use more of the stage 1 powerband. So with eveything the same what do u think the difference in time would be between stg 1 and stg 2?

that's negotiable due to tune and a thousand other variables. i'd personnally go stg 1 with full bolt-ons and tune from there. then once you get your fueling and **** down throw on the bottle and go rape bitchs. no one honestly knows how much more power the stg 2 cam is capable of over the stg 1. there are numbers on the forum but not enough evidence either way to show which is better.

keep one thing in mind cams are a mod like any other bolt-on. they don't add power like a shot of juice or a charger of some sort.

don't sweat the small stuff. get yerself a wot switch, rpw switch, bottle warmer and a good wet kit and your good to go. you'll have a quick car and a great dd and if you keep the speed under control a very reliable ride.

look at it like this some days i'd spray just to pass tools. and just so you are aware the bottle is no worse then constantly, consistantly forcing high pressure air into your NA built engine.

just so you know if your goal really is 300whp... the cheapest way to go will be turbo hands down...

i used dynotunes and was totally happy with it. heard bad **** about the zex tps other then that i'd say it's a soild kit.

you can run nitrous on anything cams, supercharged, turbo or na. so don't let cam profile decide for you. you'll just have to dial your shot in for your goals and application.
