Well depending on how far you want to mod the car you can always turbo swap your car and make very good power.... There are a lot of knowledgeable guys around this forum to ask questions.

But if staying supercharged you do not want to go catless. The car will sound like **** and you'll hate it every time you start it. If your staying supercharged I'd also suggest grabbing a option b kit, one of the best bang for your buck mods.

Where in FL are you? Couple good guys in south FL.

I ran nitrous on my LSJ for years and it was nasty quick and never had an issue as long as it was tuned for it. I set up kits for other locals and tuned their cars for it. It's perfectly reliable if done right, and the car will pick up 65-70whp on a 50 shot, makes the car much stronger.

The canned tune will get you by. My only issue with it when I had zzp stage 3 was the afr at wot is horrible. It pegged 10 on my wideband gauge.
