    If you could do the cam yourself you would save quite a lot. It's not that tough. A convertor will cost you more than the $500 limit. A shift kit install with servos will eat up your funds in a hurry. How about a transmission cooler to save you money down the road? You could add a nitrous kit for just under $500 if you do the install. Go conservative with a 50-75 shot. DynotuneNitrous.com has really reasonable prices on their kits.

    Honestly, I don&#39;t know a thing about nitrous (other than what it does of course). I don&#39;t know if using it would have negative affects on other parts (ie: too much stress, etc), what else I would have to change, yada, yada.

    Was thinking headers, but not sure if I would have to change the rest of the exhaust or if it hook directly up to it?

    Would a tranny cooler be a better decision than a shift kit/servo?
