Looks like an awesome parts list, I'm sure you'll be able to reach your goal safely. Nistune is a great program, as long as your tuner knows what he's doing your engine should hold up at that power level. What size injectors are you running?

I would drop the Nology wires, I've heard bad things about them. I had them on my setup and the wire casings that go through the head were cracked on like 2 of them, it allowed the spark to ground itself out and made troubleshooting my stumbling problem a nightmare. It could have been a freak occurrence, but I don't trust them haha.

I've run generic 8mm wires on every vehicle I've ever owned with zero issues. I was thinking about getting a DIY kit from Summit...but I found some on sale instead. Route the wires away from heat, watch for chaff and you'll be good to go. I have my wires routed over the valve cover, right down the center. Keep them dudes away from the header.

I think there is a good DIY MOD in the sticky thread for running direct power to the coil. I haven't done it yet, but I hear good things.
