Default Nitrous or 2008 xB?

So I have a problem... I love my box, but hate the fact that it only puts out 103 hp on a good day. I have an '06 PW with Injen SRI and Magnaflow catback, but I honestly didn't notice a difference. I really hate not being able to play around with other cars due to the fact that I know I'll lose. So now my question, should I run a 35 shot on my box that I have now or wait and get an '08 xB?

Why don't you look into F/I? It's going to cost you less than the '08 after trade in, tax and license. The engine in the '08 isn't enough for me to drop mine. If you really want the engine, get a tC.

lotta civics and integs lol, thats all i find round my area. single cam v's, relatively stock b16s, the usual quick cars. this engine will be done this week and i can see what it runs, hopefully low 15s...might try open jet for 14s LOL and its on 20" slicks so it should be decent. will be fun

i use to squeeze wet like a year ago wen i was "into" the car and had no probs at 75 and I just threw on a DRY kit right now cuz i came across one cheap and it has held together for 2 full bottles. I didnt even tap the intake, i just disconnected the lil air hose and shoved the nos line in it and taped it up LOL. works fine, i'll take a pic, i wouldnt recomend that high a shot but just sayin, 75 is fine.
