Default What would you do?

Going to Iraq again soon, and that means mods piling up at the house. I'm looking for some quick HP. Money is a factor, even though I could do both at the same time, I want to do some other things too, so I'm leaning towards nitrous over a H/C setup. I have lots of life on the stock valvetrain, accessories and gaskets as it only has 60k, and N20 is just so damn cool. Here's what I'm looking at, what would you change or add?

-Nitrous Outlet Group 2- LS1 78mm Plate Package

-150 shot with redundant nitrous solenoid
-Racetronix fuel pump with 42 pounders
-Strange S60 with 4.10's
-N20 pressure, fuel pressure, and wideband 02 gauges.
-LS6 clutch with updated hydraulics
-N20 tune

Looking to make 500 hp and 600 tq to the rears.

I'm looking for a safe setup, thus the fuel upgrades, and the 4.10's just because I want them and both to build a better platform for a H/C setup later.

Or, I could ditch the nitrous kit and go H/C, and spend alot more.

I would go with the nitrous set up. Then when you get more time and money do heads and cam as well.

I loved the sound of my last Trans Am when I did H/C setup but the gas mileage was definitely tough and the exhaust smell got a little old.
I really like the way nitrous gets you into your powerband quick and it's power you can use when you want to...you can't turn off the negatives of a h/c setup. IMHO
