A 50 shot of nitrous will give you far more HP than a catback. Catback is good for like 5hp. if you're looking for bang-for-the-buck, nitrous is definitely the way to go. As for the specifics, try the Nitrous forum.

VB mod = Valve Body mod... basically an automatic transmission is modified to provide quicker shifts.

I chose a 55 shot of ZEX over a measly 12hp increase with a Y pipe.

If you're shopping that low ~$350 don't even bother with nitrous. You will need at least $500-600 to get everything you need, and nitrous isn't the place to cut corners. Each bottle fill up is $30 as well.

whoa whoa whoa here, this guy obviously should have some more mods done to his car before you spray. i reccomend a tranny cooler, a vb mod if you have auto, definatly intake and exhaust and some plugs. dont spray if you arent ready for it

i think you should get all the bolts ons first, and then upgrade your fuel pump and a few other things and then slap on the laughing gas
