Default Recommendations need for a 1994 LT1 Camaro power upgrade

I need some ideas on what the best power upgrades are going to be for my 1994 Camaro LT1. I am open to pretty much anything except spray. The car already has 4.11s so I don't want to mess with the rear end. I'm ready to start working on the car but I need help on what all to do to the car. Please help by giving your advice!

I take it, the motor is pretty much stock then? If so, start with the basic bolt on's.

Do you have any goals/objectives in mind?
If you want to run some decent ET's, the top two items would be a higher stall torque converter (if you have an A4 car) and drag radials or slicks.
For more pull on the highway, longtube headers and 1.6 ratio rocker arms. Cam swap would be next.
No matter what your goals: a PCM tune, preferably a dyno tune.

full bolt ons.

Cold air intake, full exhaust, elbow, complete tune up, mail order tune, gears, stall, 1.6 RR's, ect. will get you close to the 13.0 1/4 mile mark if not past it into the 12's.
