Im trying to decide what would be the best way to increase my car's performance.
 Right now Im mainly leaning towards NOS and the 4A-GZE engine. I was wondering which of these would I get the most performance out of for the $ I'd pay for it. I also wanted to know if I would have to make any modifications on my car to install the engine. I have a 94 st w/ an auto tranny. Thanx.

everyone always says "a 50 shot is fine" and then they blow their motor.
think about it this way, your car is tuned to deliver a certain amount of fuel and air. with nitrus you are giving it way more air then the ecu/fuel injectors ever expected to have to deal with. so, the car ends up running lean and your motor blows. on a dyno a 5sfe puts out about 100hp to the wheels. so, what you are basicly saying is that you can force 50% more hp into your engine and it will deal with it no problem. there are ways of making a nitrous safer, buy those kits a lot more expensive then your tipical $600 kit. on top of that, you have to pay to refill the bottle.
