Personally I'd go for the two mods I'm doing next: Traction Bars (my JLP ones should be here today ) and E-fan/Waterpump Combo. If that doesn't sound good, then just go for the LT's, Midpipes, and Hi Flows....just my .02.

Nitrous being hard to install? Hell no. It was simple! Go with a Zex kit and you won't be let down.

Cant beat the power to dollar ratio of nitrous.

Im sure someone could help you install it locally. Theres a lot of L owners around here that are willing to help.

I would go with the Zex kit as well. Painless install.

For which kit? From what I've heard, the Zex kit is a breeze.

I priced out a complete Zex kit with accessaries including a blow down tube for about 830 with shipping from REM or even less than that.

Zex Kit!!!!!!

I have not installed a wet kit but the dry kit is a breeze.Three wires power, ground, and throttle position sensor.Run your line from the bottle to the control box ect. That is a real crude way toexplain it but it comes with everything you need switches, wire zip ties, tap for jet and Good instructions.

Do you have a ported upper or aftermarket t-body? The e-fan and cobra waterpump would be an excellent choice, I think your best bang for the buck at this point would be nitrous or a good 2400 stall torque converter.....
