New user here. I have a slim budget and want the biggest bang for my buck. I was wondering what would be the best route for pushing up the power on a sohc motor. No turbo or anything drastic. Any help will be appreciated.

For just a few hundred a working NOS system can be installed.

Advantages: Lots of extra power for the money.Dis advantages: Needs refills, hard on motor with frequent use.

unfortunately I think nitrous is "drastic" but a 30hp shot used infrequently should be more than fine for "push-button fun"/.

Im considering a 35-hp shot for that exact reason currently...."flip saftey, click button...WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"-chet

I believe Car and Driver installed a 100 shot of nos in an old camaro RS with like 170,000 miles.. article was something like "$1,000 beater shoot out".. makes me think twice how bad nos realy is if that tired motor could take 100 shot
