Default Anything else to get before i order headers?

Hi, i am about to get a ls6 intake and pacesetters LTs. I was wondering if there is anything else i should get that is cheap and can feel a difference. I want to feel the biggest difference i can. Also, what should i get for 02 sensors and should i get new plugs. My car is a 1998 z28 with 92K, m6, gmmg, Slp lid, Pro 5.0. I am going to order soon so any help is appreciated. thanks a lot, Rob
