New owner from Ohio I've read some posts on this forum but I just subscribed today. Thought I'd stop in the introductions section and say hi.
Now what's the first mod I should do to my Ls1?

Badness, I'm off of Broad street, right by the Rome-Hilliard road area. If you need anything, look me up, I may be able to help (and I'm close).
Oh, and welcome to the family!

Welcome. You could always go with the simple mods first...lid, filter, MAF...which is pretty much where I am at except for 4.10's. Getting ready for a set of underdrive pulleys though. Hope you have fun with your new ride.
Welcome! 
I think you pretty much have an idea for mods. But if I may opine, the mods I have so far done (a few more than in the sig 
) has left me spinnin' a little too much for my taste 
. Wish I would have done a few sfc type mods in between. Keep in mind if done right, it doesn't take a whole lot to unleash these puppies. 
Good luck & Happy Modding!

sfc's help out even on a stock car. they are worth it. dont waste the money on a bellow, they are crap and do nothing. if you want something new get a 4 dollar fernco coupling from homdepot. same thing better design and cheaper. first mods i would recomend are just the basic lid, catback, free mods, ftra is nice, and maby a cutout.
Always start out with the small bolt on's just like the things that you listed above. I would do all the small things you can untill you have to put on a cat back and then start doing big mods. Get a set of subframes though, my girlfriend has an automatic WS6 that is bone stock and she warps her quarter pannels since she doesnt have subframes.
