Get the headers for street but if you're planning on drag racing, I'd get the nitrous. NOS is inconvenient for the streets and also requires time and effort for peak performance. i.e. bottle temp for optimal performance/pressure, running to your trunk to open your bottle (unless you buy the expensive remote bottle opener), checking your plugs every once in a while, taking it out if you're going to park in the hot sun and constant refilling. If you're drag racing these tedious efforts are fine b/c they're a one time chore, but if you want to use it on the streets it is very inconvenient. The most irritating chore is complete un-installation b4 going to the dealer for engine or trans problems!

Meh... I get what you are trying to say but you didn't really put the words together correctly.
With headers you get gains even at part throttle but you only see horsepower increases above 5,000 rpm.
With NOS you get gains across the entire powerband but only at WOT.

hmm headers seem like a plus to me right now now the only problem is what company to go with alphawerks or megan can anyone with megans and alphas tell me how they're doing with their set of headers? i read the forums already and it seems equal to me megan/alpha both had problems that are now fixed. does anyone know the actual gain of the 2?

comptechs are great products no doubt but im not willing to spend 1250 for brand new ct when i can pay 385 for the group buy on aw or like 250 or so for megans i mean from what i heard so far aw and megans are doing just as well in quality wise but gains wise it lacks a little but im willing to give that up.
