Funny, it was mentioned twice but not commented on.

You have 1000$ you said.

Nitrous system will run about 7-8 for decent kit which leaves a few hundred for other mods, aka suspension.

Fact of the matter is folks, if he wants to go fast in a straight line a nitrous car will usually beat a turbo car, at least it will for sure with the same WHP. Nitrous has no lag, thats why I run it.

For $1000 buy 100 dime bags and smoke a fatty before driving*.....then your car will seem fast !

There are some great threads on this forum on "NOS". Your car could absolutely be awesome on juice. You still in highschool? The girls will love it man, throw on a 35 or 50 shot ZEX system and lower the car 2in. with some springs and maybe if you have money some strut bars from Massive Speed system.

If I had that done to my Focus when I was in school the kids would have thought that was the bomb.

Shouldn't cost more than 1000-1500 to get everything shipped to your house even.

I would call Summit Racing and ask some questions those guys know whats up.

Good luck!

I would check your state laws for having that stuff hooked up in your car...We don't want to steer you wrong and then you get a ticket or something.
