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.

Know what you want and what to do before you do it...
Nitrious is definately the biggest bang for the buck. If you tune your shiat correctly, you won't blow up your engine. Refer to my first sentence again. I've squeezed as high as a 75 shot (zex dry kit w/ 75 shot jets) on a stock block 7afe managing tracked times between low 15's and high 14's... The thing with nitrious is, it's basically for straight line racing only. It's fairly cost effective if you like your excitement in small doses... I don't... Aside from that, unless you're willin to pay a few grand for a turbo kit, or maybe even a swap, then the most you should be expecting is a few ponies per mod, and each mod can be anywhere from 30 bucks a pop (intake) to a few hundred bucks a pop (SAFC, Header, etc...)... |
