Default Key upgrades?

My LS1 is toast...Im having it rebuilt. Since its out and torn down what are some key upgrades that wont cost an arm and a leg that would be a good idea to get done now? My future gole is to get into the mid 11s, nothing super fast, but yet a very happy number for the street:-) Ive already got all the suspension/subframe/rollbars/3500 stall converter/shift kit/tuner/cam/rocker arms/gears/headers, and stuff like that. Should I put in a high flow oil pump or things of that nature? Im just starting to do things to this car, so im pretty new. Thanks for any input for my 99' Z28
