All the bolt on mods you listed (minus the nitrous) might get you like 15HP at the wheels for a pretty hefty price.

Only thing that's really going to give you any power is the pulleys, but those are all great to buy if you plan on building up a pretty stout engine

I wouldn't even bother doin the mass air conversion if you're just doing bolt ons, the speed density computer will handle it just fine.

The MSD/Mallory stuff is a waste of money for what you're doing and can be unreliable. The stock stuff is more than adequate up to 400 hp and is usually dead reliable.
