all motor or NOS

guys i have a chance of buying some really good cams for mi 99 GSR, i allready have basic I/H/E variable cams MSD ignition fuel regulator, the thing is i have a chance of buying a wet nitro kit, i only race like twice a month so im having a hard time deciding wich to buy, any comments on pros and cons will help, thanx.

i'm not a fan of nitrous and i wouldn't build my personal car into an all motor car....having said that, of the two options available, the N20 is going to make more power/$$, but i still dont like N20, so go w/ the cams....also, if you want to continue with your all motor project, i have an intake manifold that would suit your needs perfectly and at a good price...

Why not just buy a turbo w/ the money?

But of the 2 choices i say cams.

Here are the pics, if you're interested, just shoot me a PM and we'll talk....otherwise, good luck with your decision

I can give some insight on that one...Turbo setups, however fun they may be, are a big headache. They are expensive, sometimes a pain in the ass to maintain, and expensive (just to reitterate that)

For my setup i have invested over $4k into everything. I dont regret it one bit, but it hasn't been without its share of hard times and headaches...

^ ok, thanks. I figured they were a little more expensive. But i wasnt sure about reliability.

I may have overstated that a little bit. My car, since it has been boosted, has given me only a few problems.

1. The idle was messed up for a while
2. The ignition coil fried
3. I ran for a long time one day so the oil was hot and i was running Royal Purple 5W-30. I ended up doing a HARD 1st through top of 4th pull and the turbo smoked for a week. It just pushed a little oil past the seals. I took it apart and had it checked, but it was fine. I was told the oil was too thin for my turbo without a restrictor.

It is a ton of fun though. I can't say that enough. If i hated it, i wouldnt have invested another few thousand dollars in a new setup. I love it to death, but when you push something this hard (especially the stock engine) you're going to run into problems eventually....

thanx for helping me decide guys, i'll go with the cams, let u know how it goes. thanx
