 CC auto has been perking fairly well lately running a 14.41 @ 95 and 12.91 @
 106 on the juice. I know of nothing that will give that kind of gain for even
 many times the cost, do you ?

Nitrous is a definate plus on the hp/$ ratio.

I had a 87 Formula 350. Ran 15.5 on the motor @ 88 mph.

Installed a spray bar inbetween the TB and the plenum, and went a best of 12.8
@ 107 mph on radial tires. I had a total invesment of $700 in aftermarket
parts if you don't include the aluminum wheels. Not bad. Include the wheels, I
had about $3600 into the car total :)

I went through about 37-40 bottles in the cars short 7 month life span. I
filled the nitrous bottles myself.. had lots of economical fun with that car
.. and that's my story.
