What brand and style nitrous do you have set up in your car? Did you install it your self or have a shop do it? Nitrous has got to be fun stuff! Great looking car.

Nice car, I've seen you around GAGT.com and figured I'd stop by. I love your performance mods, and hope to be doing some of my own soon enough. Check out my GA if you get some time.

Very nice car! I want to get headers some time. I hear it makes all the difference in our cars. It looks like it if look at the stock manifolds.
