If you want a procharged 383, get a custom grind cam from lloyd elliot. Look into his head and cam package. You cant throw any cam into a supercharged engine. HotCam sucks also dont even bother looking at it.
You cant run LT4 heads with LT1 intake and vice versa (im fairly sure). LT4 is not really worth it...better things to money into like H/C setup from lloyd with a ported LT1 manifold.

Electric Water Pump
Tune (if you dont have one)
Exhaust cut outs
We dont have much choice in the line of intakes. Usually fully ported LT1/LT4 up to the owner. But there is one thread on here trying to work on a intake.
Always the free mods. Weight reduction, TB bypass. None will increase power the TB bypass will only prevent some HP loss after a while of run time, but for every 100lbs= .10 off your 1/4 time. Depends how much you wanna take off. Theres lighter hoods, tubular suspension parts, spare tires, backseats list goes on.
