This or that?
 
my birthdays coming up so im going to have some money to spend on the car. now my car already has a lot done to it. the motor is fully built on the inside and everything. 383 stroker, cam, blah blah blah. and now im looking to do more. but i was wonder should i do nitrous? or should i do a intake manifold and a throttle body? my motor is built up to hand the spray so no worries there. so what would you guys do? are any other ideas?

What about the rest of the car suspension wise to make it hook?

to do nitrous right, easily $1000. if you don't have a 58mm throttle body or at least a 52, i'd do that. get the intake ported to 58 if you do that. save for a rear as well

sub frame connectors? LCA's, Panhard and relos?

Perhaps a non dangerous restraint system?

worry about under the car before adding more power... the stuff deadtrend said, and are you still running a 10 bolt?

if you are running a 383 that "is built to take nitrous" I would think that the intake/tb is in pretty good shape.
Id go do a full suspension/brake upgrade. Get rid of the torque arm and get an adjustable one, suggested to get one that relocates it to a tunnel mounted version.
LCA's with relocation brackets, to go with the lower ride hight. And with that you will need an adjustable panhard bar.

As for what exactly you should buy, Id look into what you want to do with the car. Drag car? handilng machine? or just a powerful street car that will see some track.
