udp's
bbk t/b
Performance plenum
full exhaust and shorty headers
Performance manifold
lots of suspension
3200 torque converter
75 shot of zex nitrous

with a tune you can do probably a 125 shot. my friends car is running a 125 shot tuned on just an xcal 2 tuner and everything was checked out on a dyno and timing is conservative and a/f was like 11.8:1.

All depends on if you know the flow characteristics and how to improve upon them. I'd just keep it the way it is.
