Default Go with Nos

If you only have 700 get a Zex or Nitrous Express kit. That will take a sec or two off your time with money left over. Its not bad for the engine and you can still upgrade with other parts. The only thing that you don't want to do is run anything thats going to advance the timing. With Zex you can get an extra 75hrs. More bang for the buck.

buy an older 1.6 motor and put that int here. the car should hit a 14.9 and will last forever. Notice there is alot of those 1st gen b16's running around and those thing are how many years old?

what's a better bang for the buck mod?

My car is NA and it's damn expensive, and I'm just where I would be if I spent $500 with a lot less labor.
