im not 100% sure but if the mach 1 has IMRC's i wouldnt not do 4.30's. My cobra has 4.10's and at highway speed im very close to running with them open and on the highway it kills fuel economy. But IMO get the permanent stuff out of the way first. Gears, then nitrous later.

How about both at the same time if you can afford it. If not get the gears first since spray will run out and will cost you more in the long run since you will be instantly hooked on the power increase.

This is the weirdest shit. I literally before getting on here started debating if I should hold off on gears and go ahead and start getting a good safe nitrous kit together since I have a good bit of money right now anyways.

So with 4.30s and spraying there's no way you'd be able to hook on street tires?

4.30s then spray, with the right suspension and tires hooking on the street ain't no thang. I hooked with a 150 shot, and 4.10s on the street.....

How much is it to refill a nitrous bottle anyways? And is the only place to get it filled at a track?

I had a 4.30 in my car for a while. It's fine! It's also a lot more fun on the street. Most people ASSUME that they're no fun, but a 4.30 is a great gear for a bolton car.
