All the bolt on mods you listed (minus the nitrous) might get you like 15HP at the wheels for a pretty hefty price.

Only thing that's really going to give you any power is the pulleys, but those are all great to buy if you plan on building up a pretty stout engine

I wouldn't even bother doin the mass air conversion if you're just doing bolt ons, the speed density computer will handle it just fine.

I am also doing a Top End Kit that comes from Trick Flow for 360
Head Combo, Rockers, Head Bolts, Intake, Camshaft, Pushrods, Timing Set, Valve Covers, Gaskets, Kit Trick Flow Specialties TFS-K514-360-350 - Trick Flow® 360 HP Twisted Wedge® Top-End Engine Kits for Ford 5.0L. With Lifters Ford Racing M-6500-R302 - Ford Racing Hydraulic Roller Lifters. and other things like 75mm Throtle Body and EGR as well as a Mass air Sensor (30lb Injector Set up) 31 spline Axle, 4.10 Gears and my Juice 100 or 125 shot (will decide when done how much juice to apply)

So my question Now is are the MODs (at the Top) :shrugmentioned worth it and will they Help with the Build Up?

The MSD/Mallory stuff is a waste of money for what you're doing and can be unreliable. The stock stuff is more than adequate up to 400 hp and is usually dead reliable.
