Get 3.73 or 4.10 gears and a limited slip differential.
Get an SCT tuner, will really come in handy with running the N2O safely.

I thought you couldn't get either 4.10's or 3.73's in a 7.5inch Rear End? Anyways I forgot to add those.

Pretty good mod list. this will help from your first mod to your last.

Stage 1
Dual Exhaust (2.25" for Naturally Aspirated Cars and 2.5" for Blown Cars and some big NA strokers)
Rear End Gears & Traction-Lok (3.73 for Manual & 4.10 for Automatic)
Cold Air Intake
Underdrive Pullies
Short Throw Shifter (5-Speed) or Shift Kit (Automatic)

Stage 2
Torque Converter (Automatics)
Suspension Upgrade (Lowering Springs, Shocks & Struts, Rear Sway Bar and Strut Tower Brace).
Throttle Body (94-98) with crossover tube matching.
Custom Burned Chip, but most do not need this until Stage 3.

Stage 3
Ported and Polished Upper Intake, Lower Intake & Heads
Custom Ground Camshaft
Pushrods and Springs
Ignition System (Only needed if Forced Induction or Nitrous is used)
Fuel System Upgrades (190/255 lph fuel pump, bigger injectors & adjustable fuel pressure regulator)
Custom Chip necessary at this level for max power! Usually worth at least 10-15 RWHP and mucho low end torque.

Stage 4
Built 3.8 or 4.2L Engine (big bore best )
Supercharger, Turbocharger, Nitrous
Forged Internals (sic) Forged rods and pistons are a good idea.
MAF (all years) and TB (99^) stock MAF is adequate before this

All I can say is I hope you have on hell of a job, because with all due respect, it's going to take a fortune to buy all of that, even over an extended period of time, and all in all, not worth it, invest your money in something better like bonds, a down payment on a new car, a down payment on a house, something more than a car.
