You have a Procharger and are getting nitrous? Spend about $300 on some BFG Drag Radials (you'll need them) and use the other $300 for N2O refills.

hey vortec305,

NO, YOU'RE A HOMO!!!!!
j/k

I'd say the tires first.
Ummm....
Spohn SFCs, LCAs (if you dont already have them)...

Nitrous accesories?

Oh yeah, new washer fluid and coolant overflow tanks!

Or you could just mail it to me

Yes, I saw it but that could mean that his 'charger is in the mail, ordered, or sitting in his garage. It probably means that he PLANS on buying it soon, but since I have concluded that he only has 600 bucks he won't be getting it soon.

what kind of gears do you have in there right now? if you dont already have em, id go with some 3.42s, maybe 3.73 if you really are getting a blower.

edit: just noticed in your signature it says you have a T-5, definately go with 3.73 if you have a manual

i forgot to edit the pro charger in my sig. Instead i went with the nitrous 150hp dry system. I forgot about the BFG drag radials, thats a good posibility. Im definetly gonna get Jegster Torqu arm. thanx for the info.
yeah i have a 5 speed and 3.23 gears out back

a dry system on tpi, not very good. you better make sure you have a way to richen the mixture up alot when you spray or your pistons are gonna be in your oil pan. also, instead of the jegsters torque arm, look at spohn's adjustable torque arms. i got one for a T56 and its a great piece of work. the torque arm is like 355 (atleast mine was), then you could get you some LCA relocation brackets for 65 (huge traction difference).
