be glad it's not... You have a much more sturdy engine than most of the F-series engines....the only really stout ones from the factory were the F2 and FE3

Correct me if I'm wrong (I've never driven one), but doesn't a turbo have a delay while the turbine spools up before you're really planting rubber?

You would have a hard time keeping the revs up enough to feel a huge difference with the cams. NO2 would be the way to go for now. A 50 shot would be very safe and make a world of a difference.

The power would come in exactly where you need it.
If your on the gas and continusly take it to redline then youll feel much better with the new cams. The car gets really choked off after 5k, stock.
NO2 is great but It would come out to atleast $50 a week. I know I really get on it just about every time I get into the car. THe NAWS would be too much of a temptation, I would be using it constantly.

NOw Rod was talking about upgrading the fuel system, we cant upgrade the injectors right, due to the ecu not knowing what hapened. Would we even have to upgrade the fuel pump its the same one in the 2.0 right?
