Finally and tips/suggestions/knowledge will be gratefully accepted about a tune when all things are complete.

Cold air intake - dyno numbers vs stock? I generally would say 15peak rwhp...more or less depending on what you go with.
Exhaust cut outs before mufflers - dyno numbers ? Will sound loud and mean, but really only give you a few more HP
vmax black iceolator - before after etc Thi s doesn't add much peak HP (maybe 5 - 7) but had a nice kick in the midrange where you really want the gains. Has shown to add around 20HP and 20TQ in the midrange
Zex Nos kit - before,after,insight, good idea bad idea? Depends on how much you spray. Can do small shots, all the way up to 150 shots. People have had good luck on nitrous, but you just have to make sure you've done your homework, and your setup is safe.
Trifecta tune vs HP tuners local dyno tune. Go with an IPF tune, or wait to see what happens with HPTuners releases their tune for the LLT. Supposed to be out soon (guessing a month or two at least). IPF will be a mailer tune only, unless you happen to live close to one of their dealers whom can do a dyno tune for you, but its unlikely. HPTuner will have better access for a real dyno tune. either should be a good choice in my opinion.
- is it possible to get a ghost cam with hptuners like from trifecta? I'd forget about the ghost cam.
Anything else I should consider getting? Consider a VMax ported throttle body for better throttle response and low end.
I'll start posting pictures asap, so far the only thing done is the cold air and exhaust cut outs.
Side note - anyone have a set of headers and/or highflow cats for sale? (not pacesetter)

Remember you can't add up all the increased dyno numbers like a math problem...it doesn't work that way. See my responses above...those numbers could be achieved if they were installed indepently on an otherwise stock car.
With all the bolt ons installed...it shouldn't cause anything to break due to the amount of power. You have to get into forced induction before you reach a power level where things will begin breaking.
