We need too know more about your car first(i.e. tires, M6 or A4, y-pipe or x-pipe, h-pipe) If you have $1500 to spend, and you are also getting nitrous(which I wouldn't run more than 75 shot or so), than get a superchips and or a good tune. And maybe a cutout also.

Suspension stuff like lower control arms, torque arm, adjustable shocks front and rear, sticky tires, rear drag style sway bar, and maybe a K-member if you have enough money. Suspension mods can make a big differance for not that much money. I used UMI and spohn, but both are great for the price. You should already have a LS6 intake becuase you said it is a 2001. Heads and cam are nice but you have to beable to hook up with all that power.

Depends if you can do work yourself or not. For me 2000 would be enough to put a cam in, which is starting to be my plan for winter.

Also a good stall converter will help alot. I have seen a complete bolt on car (exhaust, intake, thurmostat, ported and polished throttle body, gears, and a good tune) with a stock suspension and drag radials go 11.94 with a good converter. That is pretty good and I think he only spent maybe 2 thousand dollars.
