A great first step would be long tube headers, cold air intake, and a good tune. After that you may want to look into a cam swap

amen. not sure about GTO underdrive pulley size but check and see if you can go smaller - is a cheap mod. I bought a BBK on Ebay and installed a few days ago. Thanks for your service!

first step would be to figure out what your budget is.
long tubes, otr intake ( or keep 04 box with a good
drop in filter ), and tune would be a good start. if you
have $4k or so to spend, look at heads and cam upgrade.
it really wakes the ls1 up.
