408 stroker with nitrous?

Is this the easiest way to throw down big numbers? Ive made up my mind and am now starting to build my 408 stroker motor. My goal is to get about 450 to 500 to the crank w/out nitrous. Its a 95% street driven car so I want it to last (at least for a little while). I want the nitrous to shut up the occasional import who decides to show off his Turbo. In order to run the nitrous I know that I need to gap my rings properly and run about a 8:1 or 9:1 compression ratio. I will be using one of the nitrous kits from summitracing. What else do I need to do in order to make this setup reliable? Im going to use the eagle forged rotating assembly. Im not taking a chance with blowing anything up so its forged everything. Im using the edelbrock heads, 750 carb, and rpm air gap intake. I only plan on using about a 150 shot. So what do you guys and gals think? Anything else Im forgeting? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks -Jeremy
