Question next mod-what to do?

You can see my current mods in my signature. I was thinking of buying a factory tech valve body but besides that and nitrous or a supercharger, what can I do? I don't want pulleys. What do you guys think of lift kits on 2 wheel drive trucks? Who makes the best lift kits and how much are they?
Any ideas or info could be apreciated.

I'd go with sc or turbo before nitrous. But that's just me.
Is that exhaust catback? If so, then headers, and hi flow cats.
I agree with the no-pulleys.

Lift kits on 2wd trucks: Thats what prerunners are. Search the suspension forum. most of the 4wd discussions will give helpful info on brand quality and general issues affected by the lift (tires, gears, etc).

no not cat back, I have high flow cats and everything but headers. I really don't have three or four grand to spend on a supercharger quite yet so nitrous is more likely than a sc or turbo. I saw something on the project MPG but could get the details like how the cold air intake box was made and stuff like that, so if anyone has a site with details I would be much oblidged.

Go with Nitrous. Cheap horsepower. If you have your A.F. mix and timeing correct, assuming you dont go wild, your engine should stay together for a while anyway. If you run nitrous, be sure to use an a/f gague so you can see if you are cooking your pistons or not. Low fuel pressure shutdown is also cheap insurance.

I was checking out Venom nitrous with the VCN 1000. Would this be a good choice or not?

I really don't know. All I have messed with is NOS systems. I know The Nitrous Works also has some great stuff.
