A few of you guys suggested that i strengthen my engine before i add nos, sounds logical.

What kinda stuff should I get? Carillo Rod? Pistons, bearings?
Arents rods like $600? :(

Thanks

What kinda mods did you mention that would cause someone to say that to you?

he wanted nitrous and vanila sky told him to fix up his car. i agree that the motor should be a little freshened up but you dont need new rods and pistons.
do a factory rebuild with a Colt cam and get the block honed and port and polish the head... consider a header.
