Default Installing nitrous kit and MSD parts

I have a 96 Z28 with CAI, 266HR CC mild cam, headers, Magnaflow exhaust and a power tune on the PCM that I am installing a nitrous kit on.

Here's what I have so far:
Cold fusion LT1 wet kit
Cold fusion purge kit
Bottle blowdown tube
100, 150, 175 and 200 jets
NX throttle position sensor switch

I just purchased the following:
MSD 8231 masterblaster coil
MSD 6520 Digital-6 Plus CD ignition
MSD 8680 Adjustable Timing Controls
MSD 8877 Wiring Harness

Does it look like I have everything I need to run this
setup at the track?

Thank you

James

Window switch? Fuel pressure safety switch? Switch panel? Bottle mount? Heater? Plugs? Coil is not needed.

Might also be more beneficial to get rid of the Tps switch and run a entry level progressive controller that has a window switch and tps switch built in. Will give you adjustability and eliminate separate components.

I've got more of a problem than any of the parts I need or purchased now. I must have tightened the hose connector too tight from the fuel rail Schrader valve to the fuel solenoid. I started my car a few minutes ago and when I raised the hood I could see gas spraying out from the back of the engine. I immediately turned the engine off, felt back by the base of the Schrader valve and there is a crack on one side where the Schrader valve meets the fuel rail (?)..... man this sucks!!! Where do I get a fuel rail for my 96 Z28???? I can't find them anywhere on the internet.

If you would of ordered a Mallory 685 it has a built in window switch, built in timing pull, among other features.

As said FPSS.

For the fuel rail, I have no idea.
