It also depends on what your plans are for the car, Race? Street? AUTO X?

I wouldnt go Nitrous just yet.
I would liven up the Valvetrain first, with a nice set of Comp pro mag rockers, roller lifters and new valve springs.
58MM is alot for the mods you have.

SFC's and a Torque Arm would help alot to. They will make the car feel and drive more solid, and put more power down. Gears would be a good upgrade.

definitely gears, 4.10s for a manual, then probably some suspension (shocks, sfc, tq arm, etc.)

Suspension, then the rear end. useless to have a ton of power if you can't get it down. My cars no fun on the street, all it does is spin. My buddies car has every suspension mod, and less power and kicks my *** all over the place....
