nitrous to get you hooked! and then probably whatever you can afford first? I'm in the same boat homie! they preach it to death but you can't go wrong on here,thats what we are all on here for,is to learn what works and what doesn't and what might! more then likely long tube headers,true dual's or Y pipe,mufflers(of your choice) shift kit,tranny cooler(a must)a good stall(Yank seems to be the stall of choice but at a price) and a cam(many decisions there) but 550rwhp can reached with nitrous and the above mentioned parts and a great tune! do a search and it's possible to reach close to 500rwhp with a stroker motor,TFS or AFR heads,and a custome cam? and then blast it with some sauce!

I would do freemods, SUBFRAME CONNECTORS. I would highly recommend that, and if you want to go cheap on your rearend get a TA Rearend Cover, Long Tubes, Suspension. etc .....

I highly recomend the subframes, especially if you are going to be running N2O

First mod after the lid, I like to do suspension first myself, but i've been falling into power mod deals so I keep buying them lol.

I'd look for a good shock first depending what you want to do.

subframe connectors, and a 12 bolt should be VERY high priorities for you if you plan on making power. as far as the first things you should do to add power (after 12 bolt and subframe connectors) should be headers and catback. its like one of my automotive teachers (now builds motors for RCR) said "your car can't eat, if it can't crap"
