Stock ls1 150,000 miles...not sure if itll last into 10s-11's
volant cold air intake-No, a sealed lid and chris1313 offers far more gains
3.90 gears- just go 4.10s
3600 stall-go 4000
Professional Products intake manifld 96mm Inlet-probably better off with an ls6 and putting money towards something else
High volume fuel rails with stainless steel mounting brackets
Professional Products Throttle Body 101mm-just port/polish your current one and put money towards something else
Long Tube Headers-Biggest you can afford, TSP 1-7/8" are probably the best deal right not, $500
comp cams 7.4 push rods-yeah you wont make it into 10's without a nice heads/cam combo, so call or email texas-speed and theyll tell you whats up.
706 heads (stock)-wont get you into 10's
Your probably going to need nitrous...
not to mention all the suspension and fuel upgrades youll need.
