Default lookin at a STS kit

Ok guys ive been reading about these kits for some time now.
Im tryin to think of the N/A vs STS.

N/A im goin to spend money on LT headers, ORY, Full exhaust and nitrous and maybe a cam?

or

STS kit, it comes with a boost controller, W/A IC, and the basic kit 6psi.

What yall think?

I will have my Tranny built and a 3k TC w/ 4.10s and Eaton LSD before the STS goes on..

Give me yalls suggestions please.

Popped the oil pump fuse once when it was about -10* out side, but other then that, no. Now I bypass the resister and run the pump on high when it's that cold out. 27,000 miles and counting.
