Don't need the 58mm TB so save that money and get a 52mm ported stock on ebay for half price. Get a real tune from madz28 or pcmforless for half price of the hypertech because it is junk anyway. Also there is better nitrous kits from Harris Speed Works and Nitrous Outlet and they are cheaper than the Edelbrock. I like the looks of everything else, maybe just look around for the best prices on each.

LOL what Pork said 
Me personally, I've never been a fan of the sound of the Loudmouth systems, especially with long tubes on LT1's. But to each their own. But incase you've havn't heard how an LT1 sounds with long tubes and Loudmouth, I would advise you hear it (in person preferably) before you buy it. Also do you plan on running cats or not?

Get an LPE Cold Air Intake for $160 instead of the K&N. I'd personally get GM Gears, they are at places for way cheaper than the SLP ones. Like said ditch the Hypertech, I wouldnt waste the money on a Throttle Body.
They actually have it for $150 shipped right now.

I have no heard Loudmoth's on a lt1 other then off of http://ls1sounds.com/. I dont think they have a loudmouth + long tube combo up though.

but you said you are getting cats so that should help cut down on the rhaspyness a lil bit. but if you can, I would still highly recommend hearing it in person first.
just puttin in my 2 cents. not trying to make you like one system over another. just puttin in opinion and what I've learned through the years
lol word on the loud mouth...I purchased it brand new, because of the cool slp tips and all, i didnt have it on my car for prolly 2-3 weeks and i took it off, sounded alright wat wide open throttle but cruising HORRIBLE, its so loud you have to have your stereo way up just to hear it..I wouldnt go with it but to each its own.
I wouldnt even get a throttle body the stock ones supports a little over 400 horse, I would buy a set of pace setters unpainted and sent them off to jet hot and have them coated, same money as the uncoated hookers and the coating will last a long time.
wouldnt do the hypertech.
I would do a harris speed works nitrous kit, they seem to be awesome kits
and i would do GM/Motive gears with around a 3000-3200 stall.

A good quality converter, I recommend the Yank "SS" series. I ran a S-10 converter (2200-2400) for 2 yrs. Threw in the Yank SS 3600 and dropped .5 off my time! Headers, gears, stall, 1.6 promags w/springs and a tune should put you in high 12's - 13.0's w/ dr's.
well certain things will pretty much have to be tuned for such as a bigger TB, camshaft, stall maybe (I didnt need to), gear change, etc. etc. If you say have a CAI and full exhaust then a tune is not required. Will it help? of course, there is power to be made and little things here and there you can adjust such as fans kicking on all the time, desensitizing the knock sensor, removing speed limiter etc. etc.
What mods do you currently have and what are your plans?
To the OP: I want to add, if you do a cam swap figure in close to $1000 including cam, valve springs plus locks/retainers, pushrods, timing chain, roller rockers, gaskets etc. etc.

I have a video of my car. It has a loudmouth + longtubes with cats. Big difference between cats and no cats with that setup.

You can hear the tone good here. Slipping out of the hole.
