Default Did I miss anything? (mods)

Been working on modding my second camaro I just picked up last week and it's been going great. Here's what I have done so far and what's about to be done - Are there ANY other free mods or bolt ons that can be done for performance? If there's anything please let me know, even if it's something you wouldn't think of like a MSD coil or deleting something for example, anything that could be worth adding some power!

PS - will all the other stock parts be ok with the added power of full bolt ons? (injectors ect) I think they should but want to be 100% sure. Also are ported MAF ends even worth any mentionable increase, or should I leave the MAF alone?

97 z28 M6
410 gears, full rebuild, royal purple
SLP lid conversion, K&N filter
MGW shifter, new clutch, short stick, hurst ****
Pacesetter coated LT's, 3" ORY, SLP LM1 catback, deleting all emissions
52mm port & polished throttle body, SLP airfoil, bypass done
NGK TR55 plugs, MSD wires, OTVC looms
17" wheels w/ nitto 555rs
UMI 35/22 sway bars, poly bushings & end links
UMI panhard & lca's
poly torque arm bushing
poly trans mount
Bilsteins & BMR lowering springs

Think that's everything so far, anything else I can do or delete, anything at all to increase performance? (keeping AC though)

Oh roller rockers! Stuff like that I'm not thinking of.. what are they worth?

Also what hp/tq can I expect to put down with FULL bolt ons? (every bolt on available) I know it's been asked a million times, and yeah I searched, but came up with a lot of mixed bags, cars with some bolt ons, just headers, ect. I want to know every mod available I can do and what power I can expect to make through the M6 once every single thing is on and the car is tuned.

Some 1.7 roller rockers, ram air setup (chris1313). Those two mods would be a pretty decent hp gain

Yeah the rockers I'm for sure adding to the list... air intake I'm doing the LS1 SLP lid conversion, I'm mainly asking if there is anything else not on the list I could do for more bolt on power.

Now what's the difference in going 1.7 over 1.6 rockers, is there only good to be had from it? Also do 1.6 fit under the stock valve covers, or will you need tall guys for both 1.6 and 1.7?

Ewp is another. There usually worth around 7 to 10 wheel. Pulleys probly be worth few. A mail order wouls help also. If you go with 1.6rr. Then pick up set of springs.

Nice thanks guys, added em to the list

Yup tune is gonna be the last thing I do after everything is on, Solomon does a great job (LT1PCMTUNING.COM).

I had UD pulleys in my Marauder (4.6 4v cobra engine NA) they were ok, but I heard in F bodies they are a waste and not a lot of people run them. I'm also putting in a pretty powerful audio system so idk if i want the alternator underpowered, but if anyone cares to comment on them let me know if they would be a good idea or not for my car.

got the 410's put in today, man I am super happy. the car YANKS now
