im guessing a 94-97 lt1 f body with high miles and an automatic transmission.. save your money on the driveshaft because 9 out of 10 of them arent ballanced for your can and will make your whole car shake after 70 mph... save your money on the air foil because it wont do much.. same with the MAF sensor.. aftermarket MAFs make it more difficult for a professional tuner (or any tuning in geneal) to tune your air fuel tables.the stock ones flow and work well enough to support somewhere around 500 hp.. what mods do you have to your car right now? as far as nitrous goes i wouldnt recommend it until you have a few more supporting mods. the combination between the lt1's infamous bottleneck heads and solid iron exhaust manifolds i doubt an lt1 could even flow enough gas and air to produce a true 100 whp shot.. you should get a set of longtube header to allow your car to breathe better.. because trust me thats what it needs

oh and the underdrive pulleys are a good idea, but just remember.. the crank pully attaches over the existing stock harmonic balancer/crank hub, therefore adding weight to the rotational system and that is NEVER a good thing

I may have missed it but I did not see headers in your mod list. Those are a must if you are going to run nitrous.
