I think that 11-year-old AOD won't last long if you start beating on it.

I would work on upgrading the tranny first, then some exhaust work and engine tweaking (full tune-up, timing advance, ignition upgrade) before going with the nitrous oxide.

I've always believed in building it bigger, badder and faster before adding a power adder (blower/nitrous/turbo). There're those that believe in the contrary, and it'll work, but not for as long as you'd like before rods start bending, gaskets start blowing etc etc. IMO
