I'll put this in perspective.
Those exhausts and pullies and TB's and headers and intakes MIGHT net you like...what, 80 horses overall? For WELL over $800.
OR, you could spend $600 and get a NIIICE nitrous kit, jetable to 150 and beyond. Hm........
Just tune it right, don't get stupid, and don't get greedy. You'll be good to go with the nitrous (and no, it's NOT explosive OR flamible)

Nope.
The mass air and tb cut down on the restriction, and allow more air to be sucked in.
Injectors (not required), and fuel pump, I don't see how that would kill the power, when tuned correctly (you could run too rich and kill power that way no matter what).
CIA and exhaust are plumbing effeciencies and add power, and the CIA allowes more oxygen to be packed in along with the nitrous, and gives more bang for buck.
Look at the car I'm driving. 1.9L. A good freind of mine is runing basically my car, with slicks, nitrous, header, ghetto cold air, exhaust, TB, and an 80 over bore (2L) and running 13.83 1/4 mile times.
When you add up n/a mods on a car, it does what? They all add up power. They also help out the nitrous quite a bit.
Young grasshoppa....you need to do your homework.
