It looks like the list is pretty comprehensive. I was thinking that if you want to break the 500 mark you might need a FAST 102 with matching TB, but I could be wrong. Have you considered using head studs instead of bolts? Also, how did you ascertain that you'll need 7.5" pushrods? What exhaust set up are you using?

Ws6 store sold me the head set up with pushrods. I have Texas speed 1/78 headers with slp exhaust.. I知 still considering head studs.. I just noticed I forgot to order cam bearings..

I'd also vote for the FAST 92 or 102 intake. 92 should be more than sufficient and doesn't involve changing injector size or fuel rails and 92mm TB bolts right up with no modifying upper water pump housing etc... I'd honestly be willing to bet you'd see 12-20 hp out of a FAST.

Awesome that helped me figure it out... The question I have now is will a 255 fuel pump work with my set up? I just pulled my fuel pump and I知 getting ready to order... I don稚 think the car will be over 450-500 n/a and I have a stand alone for the nitrous.,so could I get away with a 255?

Good, that should cover your fuel pressure needs. You'll probably want to upgrade your injectors to handle your 500 hp goals.
From what I have read, QA1 shocks are good for drag racing, Koni shocks are a good if you can afford them (I loved them on my '97 SS), Bilstein shocks are a good all around shock for the price. I hear good things about the BMR springs.
Do you have a steel drive shaft or an aluminum one? I have seen several aluminum drive shafts twist apart under hard load launches on sticky tires. I have only read about the steel ones breaking, never seen it.
