Nice set up you got going...didn't notice you listing a girdle anywhere. If your gonna run nitrous it would probably be a good idea to grab one before you put it together. You may also want toi get aluminum main caps, some people think the aluminums ability to absorb vibration is best when using nos/high hp.
