NOS is your best bang for your buck. If its installed the correct way it can be very safe.

You aren't going to get a nitrous setup for $500. If you do it the right way, it's going to cost you around $1,000 to do it.

You won't fail emissions with a cam in it. It will cost you more than $500 to do, but I passed and many more people have.

What do you need that you want? I see you already have headers. How bout some suspension?

First thing is first, your car is really sweet! That hood with the wheels is an awesome combo! What kind of lowering springs are they?

As for an answer to your question, an LT4 Hot Cam Kit can be purcahsed pretty much anywhere for about $510. Look into it, it's usually good for 30rwhp with the right bot on's!

Umm dont listen to this dude...

Yea you could buy a used kit for 250 or whatever, then you have no idea the condition of the solinoids...You still need a window switch, fprr, bottle heater, plugs etc..

"If its installed the correct way it can be very safe."

yea, but you just said it wouldnt require any other upgrades? Correctly, would be to take ANY and ALL saftey measures...

You can get a hotcam kit for 450 or so. That would be the best i think, if you know how to install it. Its not that hard, just takes a lot of time. You will still pass emisions with the hotcam because its not to radical.
