-Pistons are fine. Make sure you go with a steel top ring set if you're going to be spraying that much.
-Rods you'll want to get checked for clearances. Eagle isn't exactly known for their tolerances from the factory...
-The cam is alright. I'd go with a custom spec. cam personally but for an off-the-shelf grind it does alright.
-I'd also get a set of heads unless you're on a budget. Something like a 5.3 head shaved down to something like a 58cc or 59cc chamber. The nitrous will love the extra compression.
-If you don't get heads, you'll at the very least need to upgrade the valve springs.
