Nitrous. Get a bottle heater, pressure gages, and purge also.

A cam upgrade and exhaust, is the cheapest way for serious constant power. If you can find a used cam with accessories (new springs though) and learn some wielding to DIY it. Serious money can be saved. If you pay someone to do it expect to pay $1200 in labor alone not to mention the cost of parts. A new cam requires a new tune but you can get tuning kit and software for $150 a used cam for $10 - $50 Old exaust piping can be found for cheap agian like $10 - $100 at a u pull it junk yard. I found a full intake, exhaust, and cam for under $300 for my 305. Recharging N20 tanks all the time can add up, wear down your engine and it only makes temporary burns which you could never use on the street or highway.
