Personally, I think the deep dish is just for the look. I think you would be better with the 275 Drag radial over the 315, but I dont drag race, and could be completely wrong. Yes, get the nitrous, no, I didnt notice enough difference from the tb/plenum combo for it to be worth the 400 bucks, but I didnt pay 400 bucks, so I wasnt too pissed. The only difference is throttle response and a little over 3000 rpm. Pulleys, I dunno about, from what I hear, you can feel it, but others say theres nothing. Dunno.

Nah, ford is pretty good about finding stuff out like nitrous use when you blow something up.

Or get an oil change at your least favorite shop, then after wards, remove a spark plug, insert bolt of choice, replace sparkplug, start engine.
