An ignition system would be a great idea, and good fuel management. You might also look into getting a wet shot nitrous kit. Those mix the n2o with the fuel before spraying it into the combustion chamber. Also, getting some good cams would be a great way to add some power. Don't get too agressive of cams unless you plan on upgrading the rest of the valvetrain, but it's another option. Once again, tuning is the key to having an effective and safe n2o system. I know this has been quoted many times on here before, and is in at least 1 persons sig, but it is the truth:
Nitrous doesn't kill motors, stupid people with nitrous kills motors.
Remember that tuning is always the key to a reliable setup, and take the time to do it right.

The stock bottom-end can handle quite a bit of power (seen up to 150hp jettings on stock blocks), it's all up to how soon the rings will go south and/or if you don't detonate the block. Any jettings past 70hp I would recommend getting some sort of in-line or intank fuel pump that will supply the needed extra psi the fuel plans on pumping out.

This is a much better way to go. As for specs I believe you will see a slight bump in TQ due to the larger displacement.
