There are more mods availible in the last year than ever before. It really depends on how much $ you are willing to spend. I have a K&N intake, exhaust, shift kit, tranny cooler, strut tower braces, and custom tune. All of that together ran me about $1400 (not all at once). The car drives ten time better than from the factory with those mods. I have called it a day on doing anything more to my GXP since I do not think the w-body platform is worth trying to make into a 11 second car. I am saving for a CTS-V coupe.
There are now headers, cam swaps, head swaps, intake swaps, and of course turbo kits being done. I cannot comment on those but hopefully someone else will.

Without breaking the bank, to an intake, ported intake manifold, downpipe ,and a diablosport predator with a custom Lew tune. Or if you have a few extra pennies, subtract ported intake manifold and do a LS1/2 intake manifold swap and Doug Thorley headers.
Don't forget to love the trans, a shift kit and cooler would be very beneficial to the life of the trans.
