410's & Xcal 2 tuner. You need a tuner to run nitrous & to calibrate
the trans for 410s.

Tuner and 4.10 gears.

A tune either way, but you can enjoy the 4.10s every day. How often would you get to the track?
Get a tune first and notice the big improvement, then the 4:10 gears.
I ran a ZEX 100 shot nitrous for several years and enjoyed it on the track. Be sure and get their traction controller to minimize tire spin.
I see you live in Jacksonville, Florida, Reinhart Automotive, a vendor here and renouned Marauder tuner/performance developer has his shop in Orange Park. Visit with him he can certainly guide you in the right direction.
Didn't use my nitrous on the street at all, too small a city/town.
A 150 shot may be a bit much, 50 shot too little.
One has to fill the bottle often, $4.00 per pound, and some leakage always occurs.
Good luck,

Sound advice Pat. I agree. NOS will just end up in a cooked engine, the more you play, the more you want, the more you're gonna pay.

If you going with a Trilogy (specially a Twin Screw). In my opinion you don't really need 4:10 gears, unless chasing tenths at the track.
So, get the Trilogy first then decide if you need 4:10 gears
A more important thing to do would be to rebuild or upgrade the trak-lok diff.
