I see it getting tons of miles put on it when I get back The for sure definite mods that I am getting when I get back are a new set of Forgeline gunmetal Black SP3P wheels/w PS2's to fix the runcrap problems. Those runcrap tires truly do suck. The other mods will include new X-metal throttle body, new Corsa Track Exhaust, Woodhouse motor mounts, Green Filters, Hurst Shifter, 2008 Hood, possible Chromoly Flywheel, 170 degree thermostat, and 1 step colder spark plugs, Eibach Springs to lower the beast, and possibly Motons.

At that point I will most likely bump the nitrous shot down to 150, I dont want to blow anything up and with the additional mods I can see the 200 shot being a bit too much, I think right around 600rwhp is just fine for me.

Sorry to hear that you wrecked the GTS, that had to of been hard to deal with, I dont know what I would do if I wrecked my beast, well yeah I do, I would get another one.
I think the Roe supercharger is the top modification you can make. They're lasting 100,000mi. and they're a lot easier on your engine than Nitrous Oxide. They're the best bang for the buck and 6-800rwtq @ 2,000rpm is like Nitrous, except there's nothing to fill all the time.

Yah, in the end I guess it worked out all right as I went from a 600rwhp (91 octane) stock with 8# Roe to a 720rwhp, although it does take a bit more coaxing to get the wife into the car now. I ended up with a prettier car and way faster. Now that the runcraps are gone I have some traction and feel much safer.
