if you hadnt of spent all that money on making it look pretty you could have gears and a cam and money for gas

i vote gears (atleast 4.10 in a 9'' or 12 bolt) then a cam (atleast a 236 Dur because your a stick)

Peace..

I was thinking some shocks, torque arms, new torque converter, or maybe even just a Full LS6 Conversion.

Yeah, I was going to say something if it hadn't already been addressed.
MonSSter: You obviously have a bit of reading/searching to do. You should consider a new rear end (12 bolt) if you plan to race it at all and don't want to break. If you don't have a good clutch, look into that as well. LS1's done have "chips".
I recommend the subframe connectors, gears if you won't be running at the track or putting sticky tires on it, pulley and some sort of cold air induction. Then a cam. I would swap the pulley during the cam swap. Now, as to what cam to get...read the cam guide sticky and search around.

I thought that Jet made a programer for the LS1, isnt that considerd a chip?
Ahh who cares...
A 12 bolt, I cant afford right now. Maybe in the future I could see one but right now spending over 1k on a rear end is out of my reach.
I plan on getting gears, then subframe connectors as you
recommend and then a cam, Nitrous is out of the question, I dont want to spray with this car. If anything Ill wait until Feb 06' and not spend a damn penny until then and just Supercharge the car or Turbocharge it. Or just get the 383 stroker kit. Dont know yet..
BTW, I think the first thing is a new clutch, I was told that a z06 clutch would work wonders for this car is that true?

Search the manual tranny section for all your clutch info needs. FYI: A 12 bolt is over $2k. Most hand held programmers are a waste of money IMO, what you might want to get is HPTuners or EFI live. I think..search the PCM section for that. Just getting it tuned by somebody after the cam should be plenty for now. If you won't take it to the track and/or put sticky tires on it you can hold off on the rear end.

up here (if you're not already) get the cam if you think a new 12 bolt rear is expensive dont even try to go with a turbo or supercharger...
turbosetup=15,000 +
supercharger about 10,000...
thats with a nicely built motor and all the goodies..
thanks,
Tyler

When he says $15k+ that includes building the motor and all the rest of the goodies. A good turbo system will probably be 6-7k plus you need everything to support it and handle the power. **** gets expensive fast. Besides, turbocharging gets complicated in a hurry.
