best head, cam and nitrous setup for my car?

Ive got a 91 GTA WS6 5.7L and i was wondering what would be the best head, cam and nitrous combo to put me in some low #'s. I understand ill have to change other things like the fuel pump, tb, gears etc. but i just wana get the basics.

Well... What kind of low #s do you want? There are a ton of combos I could give you, but that doesnt' mean squat if I don't know what you want out of the car.

Low 13s? low 12s?

You could swap heads and cam to a set of TFS or AFR heads and a nitrous cam like a 218/230 or a 224/236 (my choice) w/ a good set of headers, free flowing exhaust, 3500 stall coverter, and traction and be hitting 11s on a regular basis w/ the right fueling...

Just one example of many...

You've been here for over a year and havn't seen any combo's you like? Have you tried to search?

What exactly do you consider 'low' numbers? What's fast in your area? Do you want 13's, 12's, 11's, 10's?!?

That 'question' is so bloody vauge I don't know if anyone could answer you with any clarity or consistancy. Norrow down your questions to get some help.

I think I know where Mr. Devil is going and, if I am correct, I agree 110%.

H/C and HUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEE shot of nitrous will net you 10s...

You will prolly need a motor before you see 10s IMO. Cause w/ the shot needed to get there those stock pistons are gonna shrapnal!!!
