Sadly, he kept popping head gaskets until he found out there was a microfracture in the block causing the heads to lift eventually. He ended up fixing it and selling it to some dude in Mexico before it ran a 9 unfortunately. It had all the potential, too...

Not to mention the bazillion big-turbo 2JZ-GTW Supra's out there.

Oh I agree, it's just that this is the same guy with a "head dyno" who told Sophia she was pulling an extra 50+ whp so his numbers are highly suspect.

Ohhhh haha, I didnt even think of that until now. Touche! Maybe 1050 WHP is more like, 510.0? Switched those wacky numbers around...

Since the NISMO already has a decent exaust ill just put a HFC and intakes, thats a good start IMO. But like has been said before cheapest HP gain is
N2O.

You are going the correct route. Nitrous is a cheap thrill, but short and sweet. I personally would not add something to my car that substantially increases the power like Nitrous. Scares the hell out of me, my transmission, my connecting rods and just about any other moving part in my car's drivetrain. Flame suit ON.
