Tell me what's wrong/what am I missing?
The main idea here is to run 450-475HP or so, maybe 500 at most. Here's what I had in mind:
Eagle rods
Wiseco pistons (no overbore)
ARP Headstuds
ARP Mainstuds
A decent Headgasket
Snow stage 2 meth kit
Anyone have any input on this? Am I missing something that would make it unsafe/unreliable at 450-475HP? Give me ideas, guys. I have the Powerlab GT35R kit already, and it will be going in soon. The only thing is that I don't have a huge budget for this.

Buddy, I've spent WEEKS searching every thread here, but I can't find anyone with similar mods to what I want to do, running the power I'm trying to do, so I needed to make a thread. I've found people with similar mods, but I want to know if I'm missing anything important or crucial before I go ripping things apart. No need to attack me, I'm just trying to do things right here.

Just a few ideas:
Nissan engine rebuild gasket kit
Pathfinder coolant mod
Rev-Up Oil Pump
NGK one step colder plugs
Upgraded Pulley - may not be necessary
Nismo low-temp thermostat
Block inspected and cleaned
Block redecked
Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
Rotating assembly balanced
Crank magnafluxed and the journals micro-polished
ACL Race main bearings
Heads inspected and cleaned
Heads redecked
All may not be necessary, but if your tearing everything down you may as well built it right the first time. Also, if you are considering cams in the near future, get them done while the motor is out, the labor will be much less.

The most important part of a new FI build is being patient and not making quick decisions or trying to take short cuts. You will come up missing your goal and possibly loosing everything you put into the car and some.
Other than that, your good to go with Pistons/Rods/Fuel/EMS/Clutch/HeadGasket/ARP-bolts/Radiator/Fans/Gauges/TT-kit/Luck
