Nitrous isn't a bad thing. My dad used it for 4 years on his camaro, tore the motor apart and it looked brand new (built another motor for the car). That was the first set up with nitrous, no prior experience with it. When we let an idiot install the next setup, he put the nitrous side pills in the fuel side and the fuel side pills in the nitrous side, needless to say, the motor ended up with a couple crushed pistons, yet still ran a 9.4 in the 1/4 mile.

I have to agree with everyone on here, a N/A 10 second car won't be too fun on the street. I've ridden in my dad's camaros on the street, it's cool for about 15 minutes.

Carb setups don't have to be constantly tuned. There's a guy in my town that rebuilds carbs and tunes them for your setup, usually charges $100. Once it's done, we don't have to do it again till we change the motor. My buddy's turbo (fuel injected) eclipse on the other hand, has to be tuned constantly.

Personally, I'd go for a 306 with a procharger, tubular k-member/control arms, coilovers, street slicks, and good clutch for a T-5.
