Default what should I do next?

Im planning on doing headers and an X pipe in the next few weeks. But I am not sure what mod I should do after that. What do you think i should get next.

judging from ur sig, looks like you got all the bolt ons. If you want performance still, look at nitrous/supercharger. Or you could do some stage 2 N/A cams and maybe port out ur heads.
Or you could do a little suspension: subframe connectors/UCA's/LCA's

ill proly do nitrous next but eventually ill want to do heads and cams. I just dont know enough about them and exactly what i should do. Im hoping by this time next year ill have a Kenne Bell. Can you use nitrous with the supercharger? Should i do heads and cams before or after the blower?

On kenne bell website is says NOT to do nitrous with the charger. Dont do both unless you have your engine built cuz the stock bottom end can hold that much. but with the kenne bell at 9 psi you easily be making over 400rwhp. I dont really know much about heads and cams so i cant answer those questions but i do know dont spray and blow or you'll pay bro.

i think for now ill proly get the venom 1000 kit. And when i eventually get the blower ill just sell it. I just really want to have some power now. I guess nitrous is the only way to go.

Thats the kit that i have it is the safest kit on the market... make sure u read up about nitrous what to do and what not to do, just be careful nitrous can be very safe if used properly

Just wait for the blower instead of getting nitrous then selling it when the blower comes.

If you do heads and cams, and get a blower, you'll be over the mark with the stock bottom end

Say with 8 psi on a S/C you'll prolly be right at 390-400RWHP with all ur bolt ons. Add on heads/cams it'll easily be 450RWHP, thats flirting with blowing it up.

you can get about that much hp with nitrous for literally 1/16th of the price and it wouldn't put as much stress on the engine as a blower cuz u dont use it all the time...just a thought- dont get me wrong i love SC

nitrous has it's plusses over a S/C, also has it's minuses. You'll be fine with Nitrous, just do your research and spend some money on the safety pieces.
I don't know aabout 1/16 of the price.

You can do a supercharger with tune for 4000. That would mean nitrous would be about 250, lol. You can do Nitrous for under 1000 very safely.
